Sanction of the Anti-Faction Bill by Lula this Tuesday (24) does not eliminate the prison allowance, but tightens the rules by prohibiting the benefit for dependents of prisoners linked to factions, militias, and other groups classified as organized crime
The sanction of the Anti-Faction Bill by Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva this Tuesday (24) changed the rules of the prison allowance and raised doubts. The benefit was not eliminated, but it is now prohibited for dependents of prisoners involved in organized crime.
What changes with the law
With the legislation, the prison allowance is prohibited for dependents of prisoners linked to factions, militias, or paramilitary groups.
The prohibition affects those who are in preventive detention or serving sentences in closed or semi-open regimes, as long as there is involvement in activities classified as organized crime.

Benefit continues for other insured
For other insured individuals under the INSS who meet the legal criteria, the prison allowance remains valid. The benefit is intended for the dependents of low-income workers who are imprisoned and serves as social protection.
Thus, the law does not eliminate the prison allowance. It removes the payment from a specific group while maintaining the rules for the insured.
Package expands combat against organized crime
The sanctioned text establishes a stricter legal framework against organized crime. Among the points are the prohibition of amnesty, pardon, and parole for those convicted by factions.
The legislation also provides for the serving of sentences in federal prisons for leaders, the creation of a national database on criminal organizations, and the blocking of assets linked to illicit activities.
Additionally, it defines clearer criteria for characterizing ultra-violent criminal organizations and establishes harsher penalties in the fight against these groups.
Lula’s statement and scope of the change
During the sanction, Lula stated that the restriction on the prison allowance has an educational and punitive character. According to him, the measure aims to make those who commit crimes understand that their actions affect their families.
Despite the impact, experts highlight that the change is part of a larger package. For the majority of insured individuals, the rules of the prison allowance remain the same.
