Learn about all the benefits provided for in Auxílio Brasil

The Auxílio Brasil program, which will replace Bolsa Família as of November 17, will have the payment of six benefits. Anyone who already receives Bolsa Família will automatically have the new benefit. In addition to the basic income, it is possible for each family to receive complementary benefits, which vary between R$100 and R$200.

For the School Sport Aid and the Scientific Initiation Scholarship, for example, they will be paid 12 monthly installments of R$100 plus R$1,000 in a single installment, per family. Payment will last as long as the family meets the criteria for each benefit.

This Monday (8) night, in an extra edition of the Diário Oficial da União, President Jair Bolsonaro (no party) regulated the program and defined the value of the complementary benefits. See below how much will be paid in each of them and who can receive it.

Staying in Auxílio Brasil depends on compliance with rules such as a minimum monthly school attendance of 60% for children aged four and five, and 75% for beneficiaries aged between six and 21, in addition to complying with the Ministry of Health’s national vaccination calendar. Health, monitoring the nutritional status of children under seven years of age, and prenatal care for pregnant women.

Basic Early Childhood and Family Membership benefits will be limited to five per family. They were permanently incorporated into the program and are not related to the minimum amount of BRL 400 per family, promised by the government for Brazil Aid in 2022. Payment of this amount, expected to be paid in December retroactive to November, depends on the approval, by the National Congress, of the PEC dos Precatório.

The federal government intends to serve, this month, 14.6 million families in extreme poverty and poverty, registered in CadÚnico. In December, the number should rise to 17 million families. The benefit had an average adjustment of 17.84% compared to the benefits that are currently paid and will follow the usual Bolsa Família schedule.

Families with an increase in per capita monthly family income in an amount that exceeds R$ 200 will be able to receive Brazil Aid for another 24 months. According to the Ministry of Citizenship, “the objective is to give the beneficiary the security that he will have the support of the federal government during the process of social emancipation”.

After this period, the family will be disconnected from the program. However, in the event of loss of additional income, the family can receive the Auxílio Brasil with priority again, without having to wait in line, if it meets the requirements established for receiving the benefits.
