It is available to people receiving rendimento social de inserção, unemployment benefit, abono de família, complemento solidário para idosos, or social old-age and disability pensions, and to households with an annual income of up to €5,808 plus 50% for each household member without an income of their own. You apply to any internet provider with your name, NIF and tax address. It was introduced by Decree-Law 66/2021 and Portaria 274-A/2021.
Where you come across it. Talking to your provider about the price of home internet when money is tight.
The provider has no right to demand certificates from the tax office or Segurança Social — it passes the data to ANACOM, which checks it itself. Television and phone are not included in the social tariff, and only one is allowed per household.
