In addition, you will be able to learn about the different categories that Sisfoh manages and what documents you need to update your socioeconomic situation in the municipality in your area.

How does Sisfoh categorize families, according to their socioeconomic level?
The Household Targeting System (Sisfoh) organizes families into three different levels, based on their economic capacity:
- Non-poor families: those that manage to cover the cost of the basic family basket.
- Poor families: their income is insufficient to cover the expenses of the basic basket.
- Families in extreme poverty: they face severe economic difficulties, to the point of not being able to ensure the minimum necessary for their subsistence.
How to obtain the socioeconomic classification of your family?
To be part of the General Household Register administered by Sisfoh, it is important to obtain a Socioeconomic Classification (CSE) of your family. If you do not have this, it is necessary to apply at the Local Registration Unit (ULE) belonging to your local municipality.
The ULE, operational in both provincial and district municipalities, is responsible for managing requests for socioeconomic classification (CSE). This involves the collection of family data and its subsequent submission to the Ministry of Development and Social Inclusion (Midis).
What benefits are available for families classified as poor or in extreme poverty?
If your home is in any of these categories, you can access several support programs:
- Together, the National Program of Direct Support to the Most Needy.
- Scholarship 18, offered by the National Scholarship and Educational Credit Program (Pronabec).
- Pensión 65, assistance program for older adults.
- Cuna Más, aimed at child care and attention.
- Contigo Program, which provides support to people with severe disabilities.
- Work Peru, a program that promotes temporary employment.
- The Energy Social Inclusion Fund (FISE), which facilitates access to energy at reduced prices.
