Whenever there are changes in Bolsa Família, it is natural that doubts start to appear and raise questions about how it will work, values and requirements.
After all, this is one of the best-known social benefits in Brazil and one that improves the lives of many families, providing access to food, housing and more.
With that in mind, find out now everything we already know about the changes that may start to happen this year.
Changes in Bolsa Família – What happened?
First, all the changes began to emerge after President Jair Bolsonaro stated that the program would be reformulated by the Government.
With that, he also said that the monthly transfer would change, reaching R$ 400.
However, this is still something that is under discussion, since it is necessary to create a budget to fund such an amount.
In addition, another change is in the name of the benefit, which would be called Auxilio Brasil, also intended for low-income families registered with CadUnico.
Including, it is not today that the president launched the project, which was “shelved” until then.
With the new elections on the way, the Aid has become Bolsonaro's main maneuver, including updating the value.
It is worth remembering that, upon reaching the age of 18, the transfer of the benefit stops happening to families.
What changes with the new aid?
More important than that, is knowing what to expect with the changes in Bolsa Família.
In this scenario, the main change is in the value, which becomes R$ 400, whereas before the average was R$ 200.
This measure was only possible due to changes in the Union's payroll and a new PEC.
Likewise, the forecast is that another 3 million people will be enrolled in the program.
This increase is due to the country's last years, with the pandemic, which increased unemployment and led families to lose their source of livelihood.
Brazil Aid Rules
The latest news about the changes in Bolsa Família happened at the end of 2021 and, for now, there is a wait on the new regulation.
In short, the new release rules have not yet been confirmed or published, but the CadUnico rule continues.
As the program's goal remains to help low-income families, it is likely that there will be few requirements-related changes.
However, it is possible to wait for a new public analysis. Therefore, if you have the registration and receive any benefit, it is important to keep all data up to date.
Thus, the benefit is offered and divided according to the family structure:
Early Childhood:
If you have children up to 36 months old, it is possible to get the aid without a deadline. It is worth noting that each family can receive up to five aids.
Family Composition:
Intended for all families with children from 3 years old or pregnant women.
In this context, the benefit can be received for families with young people aged 18 to 21 who are in basic education, that is, who have not finished school.
Up to five benefits per family and with no duration.
Overcoming extreme poverty:
Benefit given to families with a monthly income per person below the poverty line.
This already adds up to the benefits.
There is no limit or deadline for this.
Others:
Finally, the Bolsa Família benefit is also an option for other families with young children.
For children who stand out in the Brazilian School Games, for example, the family can receive twelve installments of the benefit for each student.
The same goes for those who stand out in national scientific or academic competitions.
