The present work includes a statute of Benefit of Continued Transference BPC predicted by the Brazilian Constitution of 1988 and implemented in 1996 by the responsability of the Federal Goverment, through the Previdence Ministry and Social Welfare Work, at present, Social Development Ministry and Fight Against Hungry .This benefit consists in the repass of a minimal monthly wage directed to elderly people and to handicappeds that can prove they have no means to provide their own self maintenance or have it provided by their families. In our research, we investigate the meaning of BPC in the life of people who receive it. In this way, we accomplished a differentiated evaluation which aims to get closer to individuals that are in the end of the line of politics, or rather, the ones who BPC is directed. We looked for another analisis level, which points to the senses, to the meaning attributed to BPC. Summarizing, we crave to know the glance of those people beneficiaries by the BPC and how that impacted their lives. We proceed to a documental study about the extinct lifetime monthly income, to the exams of the layouts relating to the assistence and BPC normalization, to the biography review and readings, as well as we accomplished some researches in a quantitative and qualitative nature in Matadouro Comunity in Campos de Goytacazes- RJ. In a first moment, we worked with the oral history, using the reports of the oldests inhabitants of the comunity, objecting to restore the local history. Following, we applied a structured interview with elderly people above 65 years old, whose familiar income are below ¼ of a minimal wage, with the goal to detect the BPC Beneficiaries. Finally, we made a semi-structed interview with open questions in a way to learn the meaning of the BPC according to the beneficiaries speech. When it was not possible to listen to them, we listened the responsible, in this case the mother. The results demonstrates that it is a net and certanty income and the beneficiaries receive it rightly , every month which permits that these people introduce themselves, in some way to the consumption society. This income appears as fundamental to these people´s lives, seen as a possibility to have some autonomy and mainly, it is the possibility to administrate this income according to their necessities and whishes differently to what happens when a food basket is received.
