Caixa pays taxi assistance to 32,000 drivers; see who receives

by

Caixa Econômica Federal released, this Tuesday (30), the taxi driver allowance to 31,800 drivers who are entitled to the benefit. This month, R$ 2,000 will be paid to each professional. The deposit is made in the digital social savings account opened by the bank on behalf of the worker, operated by Caixa Tem.

Approved as an emergency in the package of electoral measures by Jair Bolsonaro (PL), the benefit pays R$ 1,000 per month until December. To pay, a state of emergency was created in Brazil, circumventing electoral legislation and raising public spending by R$ 41.25 billion on the eve of the election.

Who is entitled to Taxi Assistance?

Drivers who:

  1. Have obtained registration until May 31 of this year to practice the profession, which is issued by the competent body of the municipality in which they work
  2. Are taxi drivers holding a concession, permit, license or authorization issued by the municipal or district government to exercise the profession
  3. Are taxi drivers with authorization issued by the municipal or district government

The amounts are being paid according to the date on which the city halls registered the information of their professionals in the federal government systems. See the calendar:

registration period Payday
July 25th to August 2nd at 7pm August 16th
August 5th to 15th August 30
August 20th to September 11th september to december

The first payment, made on August 16, was deposited to 245,213 drivers across Brazil, according to the Ministry of Labor and Social Security. The R$ 2,000 correspond to July and August installments.

In this lot, 31,867 taxi drivers throughout Brazil were benefited. In all, the city halls sent 35,942 registrations in the period from August 5th to 15th. According to the Ministry of Labor and Welfare, those who had already received the first batch will not receive it now, only in the payment of the second installment, on September 24.

In the first stage of registration, 300,771 taxi drivers were registered by municipalities and the Federal District between July 25th and August 2nd.

Money must be withdrawn within 90 days

The deadline for submitting entries will be September 12. The ministry says that the value and total installments of the benefit can be adjusted according to the number of registrations entitled.

If the citizen does not move the money within 90 days, the amount goes back to the National Treasury. To clear up doubts, the government has a website that explains the benefit and its rules.

At Caixa Tem, workers can pay bills, transfer amounts, generate a password for withdrawal, make Pix and purchase online or in person at registered establishments.
