Social inequality is intrinsic to the Brazilian reality; in this scenario, social policies
become relevant, as they are a mechanism for coping with poverty, through access
to goods and services to those who can not provide them, and simultaneously
instrument of the State for the containment of social conflicts. Considering these
elements, this study deals with social policy, from its origin with emphasis on social
assistance policy, as well as the historical trajectory in the Brazilian scenario. From
the analysis of the social reality, it was possible to understand and conceptualize
fundamental elements such as the social question and the poverty, and the forms of
confrontation in Brazil. In this discussion, the mechanisms of income transfer, such
as the Continuous Benefit Benefit (BPC) and the Bolsa Família Program (PBF),
assume relevance, being the object of study of this research, the transfer of these
resources to the municipality of Miracema do Tocantins-TO at the period between
2004 and 2016. The methodological procedure adopted was the dialectical historical
materialism, the bibliographical and quantitative research, being fundamental the
information collection in the official database, made available by the Ministry of Social
and Agrarian Development (MDSA), among other sources officials. The research
revealed that the transfer of income to the municipality studied was fundamental for
the reduction of social inequality, but other structuring policies are necessary
