Caixa Econômica Federal pays today (21) the August installment of Auxílio Brasil to beneficiaries with a Social Registration Number (NIS) ending in 3. This is the second installment with a minimum amount of R$ 600, which will remain in effect until December, as constitutional amendment enacted in July by the National Congress.
The constitutional amendment also authorized the inclusion of 2.2 million families in Auxílio Brasil. As a result, the total number of beneficiaries served by the program rose to 20.2 million this semester from this month.
The beneficiary will be able to consult information about the 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.
In January, the minimum amount of Auxílio Brasil will return to R$ 400, unless a new proposal to amend the Constitution is approved. Traditionally, Auxílio Brasil dates follow the Bolsa Família model, which paid beneficiaries on the last ten working days of the month.

Basic benefits
Auxílio Brasil 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 BRL 100, considered in extreme poverty, and those with a per capita income of up to BRL 200, considered in a condition of poverty can receive the extra benefits.
THE Brazil Agency prepared a Q&A guide on the Aid Brazil. Among the doubts that the beneficiary can ask are the criteria for integrating the social program, the nine different types of benefits and what happened with Bolsa Família and emergency aid, which were in force until October last year.
Gas Allowance
This month there will be no payment of Auxílio Gás, which benefits families registered in the Single Registry for Social Programs of the Federal Government (CadÚnico). As the benefit is only paid every two months, payment will return in October.
Only those who are included in CadÚnico and have at least one family member who receive the Continuous Cash Benefit (BPC) can receive the Gas Aid. The law that created the program defined that the woman responsible for the family will have preference, as well as women victims of domestic violence.
