Caixa Econômica Federal pays today (18) the November installment of Auxílio Brasil to beneficiaries with a Social Registration Number (NIS) ending in 2. This is the fourth installment with a minimum amount of R$ 600, which will be in effect until December, as per constitutional amendment enacted in July by the National Congress.
Unless a new proposal for an amendment to the Constitution (PEC) is approved, the minimum amount of Auxílio Brasil will return to R$ 400 in January. On Wednesday (16) night, the vice-president-elect, Geraldo Alckmin, handed over the PEC to Congress providing exception of BRL 175 billion in the federal spending ceiling, which would allow the maintenance of the value at R$ 600 and the payment of an extra R$ 150 to families with children up to 6 years old. The program should be renamed Bolsa Familia.
The constitutional amendment approved in July released the inclusion of 2.2 million families in the Brazil Aid. With that, the total number of beneficiaries served by the program rose to 20.2 million this semester. Traditionally, the dates of the Auxílio Brasil follow the Bolsa Família model, which paid in the last ten working days of the month.
Beneficiaries can consult information about payment dates, the amount of the benefit and the composition of installments in two applications: Auxílio Brasil, developed for the social program, and Caixa Tem, used to monitor the bank’s digital savings accounts.

basic benefits
Auxílio Brasil has three basic benefits and six supplementary ones, which can be added if the beneficiary gets a job or has a child who excels in sports, scientific or academic competitions.
Families with an income can receive extra benefits per capita up to R$100, considered in extreme poverty, and up to R$200, in poverty.
THE Brazil Agency elaborated question and answer guide about Aid Brazil. Among the doubts that the beneficiary can resolve are the criteria for joining the social program, the nine different types of benefits and what happened to Bolsa Família and emergency aid, which were in effect until October last year.
Gas Allowance
This month there will be no payment of the Gas Aid, which benefits families registered in the Single Register for Social Programs of the Federal Government (CadÚnico). As the benefit is only granted every two months, it will return in December.
You can only receive the Gas Allowance if you are included in the CadÚnico and have at least one family member who receives the Continuous Provision Benefit (BPC). 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.
