A partir da análise dos registros administrativos do Benefício de Prestação Continuada (BPC) investiga-se a hipótese de que houve um crescimento significativo da mortalidade entre os beneficiários idosos do BPC nos anos de 2020 e 2021, devido à pandemia da covid-19. Metodologicamente, utilizou-se de linguagem SQL para extração e tratamento dos dados, para cálculo das taxas médias anuais de mortalidade de 2005 a 2021, por sexo e idade. Os resultados confirmam que houve um aumento significativo da taxa de cessação por óbito entre os beneficiários do BPC-Idoso em 2020 e 2021, mantendo-se válida a hipótese apresentada. Destaca-se a relevância de se estudar um dos maiores programas assistenciais do país, que possui orçamento anual da ordem de R$ 62 bilhões.
