There are more than 16 million registered in the country's card, according to President Nicolás Maduro. Not all have received benefits, but the warning about their mandatory use for access to public policies.
Since its launch, the government has warned about the payment of products offered by the State, such as the Local Supply and Production Committees, access to the 0800health-ya system and other transactions, through the card.
The public bank already advances instruments in this matter. The Banco del Tesoro has the CrediPatria Pensionados service. According to the financial institution, clients may request financing for mounts and corrective lenses, prostheses and dental implants, hearing aids, acquisition of wheelchairs, walkers and canes, presenting as only requirements an account in the institution and the card of the country.
On the website of the bank ensures that "more than 83,000 pensioners will benefit," with loans ranging from 500,000 bolivars to 5 million bolivars... provided they have the card.

The Carnet de la Patria is a Chavismo tool used to monitor who votes, how they vote... and if they are going to get fed.
1. Want to vote? Report to the "red spot"... scan and leave your card.
2. Take a voting ticket (someone who voted Chavist prior to you), vote.
3. Put the ticket you picked up in the ballot box, bring back to the "red spot" your voting ticket.
4. Providing that you voted "correctly" you will get your card back.. and voucher for a bag of food.
5. No card? That's OK... walk over there past those guys with the red shirts. They have something they want to say to you...
Remember... its for the Fatherland! iViva Chavez! ¡Viva la Revolución!
