This Friday (26) Caixa pays Brazil Aid for beneficiaries with a Social Registration Number (NIS) ending at 8. The average benefit amount is R$ 217.18. The dates will follow the Bolsa Família model, which paid beneficiaries on the last ten working days of the month.
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 income can receive Brazil Aid per capita of up to R$ 100, considered to be in extreme poverty, and those with income per capita of up to R$ 200, considered to be in poverty.
THE Brazil Agency elaborated a question and answer guide about Brazil Aid. 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.
According to the Ministry of Citizenship, in this first month of operation of the new social program, more than 14.5 million families will be covered, with an expenditure of around R$ 3.25 billion.
