Caixa Econômica Federal completes the payment of the September installment of the new Bolsa Família. Beneficiaries with a Social Registration Number (NIS) ending in 0 will receive this Monday (30).
The minimum value corresponds to R$600, but with the new additional the average value of the benefit increases to R$684.27. According to the Ministry of Development and Social Assistance, this month the federal government’s income transfer program reached 20.71 million families, with expenditure of R$14.14 billion.
In addition to the minimum benefit, there is the payment of three additional benefits. The Nutriz Family Variable Benefit pays six installments of R$50 to mothers of babies up to six months of age, to guarantee the child’s nutrition. Bolsa Família also pays an additional R$50 to families with pregnant women and children aged 7 to 18 and another R$150 to families with children up to 6 years old.
In the traditional Bolsa Família model, payment occurs in the last ten working days of each month, staggered according to the final digit of the NIS. The beneficiary will be able to consult information about payment dates, the value of the benefit and the composition of the installments in the Caixa Tem application, used to monitor the bank’s digital savings accounts.
Residents of Rio Grande do Sul, affected by floods from April to June, and Amazonas and Acre, affected by drought, received the Bolsa Família payment in a unified manner on the 17th, regardless of their NIS number. The unified payment also benefited 45 municipalities in São Paulo affected by forest fires, five municipalities in Roraima that suffer from malnutrition among the Yanomami people and the city of Pinhão, in Paraná, affected by heavy rains.
Starting this year, Bolsa Família beneficiaries no longer have the Defeso Insurance discount. The change was established by Law 14,601/2023
Protection rule
Around 2.64 million families are under the protection rule in September. In force since June last year, this rule allows families whose members get a job and improve their income to receive 50% of the benefit to which they would be entitled for up to two years, as long as each member receives the equivalent of up to half the minimum wage. For these families, the average benefit was R$372.07.

Gas Aid
This month there was no payment of Gas Aid, which benefits families registered with 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 receives the Continuous Payment Benefit (BPC) can receive Gas Aid. The law that created the program defined that the woman responsible for the family will have preference, as well as women who are victims of domestic violence.
