After so many conflicts and events, not only in Brazil, but in the world, it resulted in great impacts for populations, making them socially vulnerable. Thus, as a way to alleviate this problem, social programs were created in order to help economically vulnerable families.
Therefore, this is the case of Auxílio Brasil, which emerged in the Bolsonaro government. However, with the change of presidency in 2023, the Brazil aid will undergo changes. So, if you want to know all the updates on benefits after the election, keep reading and check it out below.
What is Brazil Aid?
At first, Auxílio Brasil is a direct and indirect income transfer program that seeks to ensure and enhance the improvement in the quality of life of families, in addition to contributing to social inclusion.
In addition, the main differential of Auxílio Brasil is that it has several public policies for social assistance, education, health, employment, and income in one program.
The benefit is coordinated by the Ministry of Citizenship, responsible for transferring funds for payment by Caixa Econômica.
How it works?
First, for families that are in poverty or extreme poverty, Caixa pays R$600.00.
In this way, families that are in a situation of extreme poverty are those that have a family income per person of up to R$105.00.
Thus, families living in poverty have a per capita family income of R$105.01 r R$210.00. However, in order to receive the aid, it would be necessary to be registered and with all data updated in the Cadúnico.
Brazil aid after the election
Firstly, one of the biggest doubts since Lula's victory in the elections would be about the Brazil Aid. Therefore, the most expected change will be the change of the name of the program. Brazil aid should once again be called “Bolsa Família” in 2023.
In addition, the elected government implemented a Proposal for an Amendment to the Constitution, which intends to adjust spending and reduce the impacts left behind by the government of former President Jair Bolsonaro.
Thus, with the transitional PEC, the text by which Lula's team imposed the exclusion of the spending ceiling rule on social programs for the coming years, will guarantee the necessary resources to continue with a value greater than R$600. Thus, the proposal also proposes an extra value of approximately R$150, per child up to six years old.
The changes in Bolsa Família 2023/Auxílio Brasil
In short, check out the main changes that should occur in the Auxílio Brasil (Bolsa Família) during the Government of President Lula:
- Additional R$150 for each child in the family up to 6 years old;
- Set the minimum value of the Brazil Aid at R$600;
- Family health monitoring (vaccination requirements);
- School attendance requirement for children and adolescents from beneficiary families.

One of the main promises of President Lula's campaign would be the increase of R$150 per family with children up to six years old and should start to be paid in March.
According to MDS minister Wellignton Dias, the federal government works with the states and municipalities to carry out and review and update the Single Registry. Currently, there are around 40.7 million families registered in the Cadastro Único.
In addition, the text of MP 1155 will guarantee the bimonthly payment of Vale Gás with a value of 100% of the national average for a 13-kilogram cooking gas cylinder. Incidentally, the benefit was paid for the last time in December to around 5.6 million families and the amount was R$112.
How do I know if I will receive Bolsa Família?
In short, many people in the queue want to know if they will receive Bolsa Família and how much will be paid. Thus, to consult, the beneficiary must access the Auxílio Brasil Gov Br application (the official program) or the Caixa Tem application, both from Caixa Econômica Federal.
After all, both applications are available in the application stores of Android and IOS mobile phone and tablet platforms. Thus, the applications will allow beneficiaries to consult the availability of the benefit, the value of the installments and the payment schedules.

However, I hope I have helped you to stay up-to-date on the information from Auxílio Brasil after the elections. To the next!
