Caixa starts to pay Brazil Aid with a minimum value of R$400

This Friday (10), Caixa Econômica Federal will pay Brazil Aid for beneficiaries with a final Social Registration Number (NIS) 1.

Provisional measure published in an extra edition of the Official Gazette of the Union, on the last 7th, brought forward the payment of the new amount of the Auxílio Brasil . The instrument created an extraordinary benefit that complements the already planned installments of Auxílio Brasil for the amount of R$ 400. In other words, each family will receive at least R$400.

According to the Ministry of Citizenship, of the total of 14.5 million families served in November by the new social program of the federal government, 13 million received less than R$ 400. In November, the average value of Auxílio Brasil was R$ 224.41 .

Calendar

The payment dates follow the model of the old Bolsa Família, which paid beneficiaries on the last ten working days of the month. In December, due to the Christmas holiday, payments go up to 23, with an anticipation of the regular calendar by one week.

Beneficiaries will be able to consult information about payment dates, the benefit amount and the composition of the installments in two applications: Auxílio Brasil, developed for the social program, and the Caixa Tem application, used to monitor the bank's digital savings accounts.

Basic benefits

The new social program has three basic benefits and six supplementary benefits, which can be added if the beneficiary gets a job or has a child who excels in sports competitions or in scientific and academic competitions.

Families with a per capita income of up to R$100, considered to be in a situation of extreme poverty, and those with a per capita income of up to R$200, considered to be in poverty, can receive Brazilian Aid.

Agência Brasil has created a guide to questions and answers about Auxílio Brasil. Among the doubts that the beneficiary can answer are the criteria for joining the social program, the nine different types of benefits and what happened to Bolsa Família and emergency aid, which ran until October.
