Abstract

The article aims to analyze the Social Assistance policy in Brazil from 2016 onward, considering the regressive measures, fiscal adjustments and budget cuts that have promoted the underfunding of Social Assistance and threatened the Unified Social Assistance System. The analyzes are based on a critical and dialectical theoretical framework, built on a bibliographic and documentary study, with reflections on State action within the scope of the Unified Social Assistance System and its consequences for individuals and families in the current pandemic scenario. resulting from Covid-19. The results showed that the productive restructuring of capital based on the flexible Toyotist pattern; the capitalist crisis unleashed from 2008; the State's counter-reforms, such as Constitutional Amendment No. 95/2016; and the health issues resulting from Covid-19, have configured a regressive scenario for SUAS, with a deepening of class, race/ethnicity and gender inequalities,
historically and socially constructed in the Brazilian reality, with significant limits for democracy and citizenship.
