Segurança Social app shows this month's benefits on one screen: child, parental, unemployment and sickness

The Segurança Social app, run by Portugal's social security service, has a new section called Visão Integrada. It shows on a single screen which benefits you have been awarded this month and how much each one pays (Segurança Social).

For now the section covers four types of payment: child benefit (abono de família), parental benefits (parentalidade), paid on the birth of a child and while caring for them, unemployment benefit and sickness benefit. The service describes this as the first stage.

To check, open the app, log in and select Visão Integrada from the main menu. Only the amounts for the current month are shown.

In November, Segurança Social pays child and family benefits on the 16th. First payments of unemployment, sickness and parental benefits are made the same day. Pensions and disability benefit (Prestação Social para a Inclusão) are paid on 6 November (Segurança Social payment calendar).

Who is entitled to each benefit and how much it pays is explained in our guide Segurança Social benefits: unemployment, sickness, children.
