Caixa Econômica Federal anticipates today (26) the November installment of the Auxílio Brasil to beneficiaries with a Social Registration Number (NIS) ending in 8. This is the fourth installment with a minimum amount of R$ 600, which will remain in force until December, according to constitutional amendment enacted in July by the National Congress.
Officially, the Auxílio Brasil calendar foresees payment to NIS 8 beneficiaries on Monday (28). However, since September, beneficiaries who receive the Auxílio Brasil on Mondays will be able to transfer the money from the previous saturday??
Unless a new proposed amendment to the Constitution (PEC) is approved, the minimum amount of the Brazil Aid will return to R$400 in January. On the last 16th, the elected vice-president, Geraldo Alckmin, delivered a PEC to Congress providing an exception of BRL 175 billion in the federal spending ceiling which would allow the maintenance of the amount at R$ 600 and the payment of an extra R$ 150 to families with children up to 6 years old. The program would again be called Bolsa Familia.
The constitutional amendment approved in July released the inclusion of 2.2 million families in the Brazil Aid. With that, the total beneficiaries served by the program rose to 20.2 million in this semester from this month. Traditionally, the dates of the Auxílio Brasil follow the Bolsa Família model, which paid beneficiaries in the last ten working days of the month.
The beneficiary will be able to consult information about payment dates, the amount of the benefit 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
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 competitions or in scientific and academic competitions.
Families with per capita income of up to R$ 100, considered in extreme poverty, and those with per capita income of up to R$ 200, considered in poverty, can receive extra benefits.

Gas Allowance
This month there will be no payment of Gas Aid, 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, the payment 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 Continued 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.
