Résumé
"The Brazilian Federal Constitution of 1988 introduced the Continuous Cash Benefits (BCP), allowing the inclusion of people with dis - abilities. This is a descriptive study with aggregate municipal data about the time and geographic distribution of the incidence of microcephaly re - lated to the Zika virus in Brazil and data of the BCP grants to children diagnosed with micro - cephaly. Data on the demand and BCP grants to children with microcephaly since 2009 are shown. Cases of microcephaly and/or central nervous sys - tem disorders were obtained from the Ministry of Health and totaled 2,366 confirmed cases from January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2016. The his - torical series of BCP granted from 2009 to 2016 was based on data from the National Institute of Social Security and showed, until 2014, a baseline with an average of 200 annual benefits for chil - dren younger than 48 months with microcephaly. In 2016, grants increased eight times, reaching 1,603 benefits granted to children of 731 munic - ipalities spread in the 27 States. The Northeast accounted for 73% of the BCPs granted, however, this was less than 65% of the demand for incident cases. The implementation of the integrated re - ferral system, including active search, should be strengthened to ensure access to all children en - titled to BCP."
