Payments for Auxílio Brasil, the federal government’s new social program, will begin this Wednesday (17) and will follow the usual Bolsa Família schedule. Withdrawals can be made with the Bolsa Família card, until a new card is issued, at Caixa branches and lotteries. Money can also be handled through Caixa Tem.

This Tuesday (16), Caixa informed that the Auxílio Brasil application can now be downloaded on your cell phone. It will be possible to check if you will receive the benefit, the payment date and the amount. For Android devices, search for Auxílio Brasil CAIXA

  1. Click “Install”
  2. Then, in “Open”
  3. Click on “Login”
  4. Choose whether to enter the Caixa Tem or FGTS password or register one for Auxílio Brasil

According to Caixa, it will also be possible to obtain the information through the Caixa Tem application.

Anyone who already receives Bolsa Família will automatically have the new benefit. In addition to the basic income, each family may receive complementary benefits, which vary between R$100 and R$200. The Auxílio Brasil will pay up to six complementary benefits.

According to Caixa, the cards and passwords used to withdraw from the Bolsa Família will remain valid and may be used to receive the Auxílio Brasil. Families who receive Bolsa Família through the Caixa Tem application, in a digital savings account, will receive Auxílio Brasil in the same form of payment and will be able to continue to use the application for their benefit.

To be a candidate for the federal government’s new social program, the family must be registered in the CadÚnico (Cadastro Único) and have updated information in the system. Registration is not done over the internet. It is necessary to go to the sector responsible for the Single Registry of the municipality to enroll. Normally, registration is done at city halls, at Cras (Social Assistance Reference Center), or at a service post of the Cadastro Único and the Bolsa Família program.

On a monthly basis, Dataprev will reassess whether the family remains entitled to Brazil Aid. According to Pedro Guimarães, president of Caixa, 14.5 families will benefit in November.
