In addition to the full benefit, around 3 million families are covered by the protection rule in October. This rule allows families whose members obtain employment and improve their income to receive 50% of the benefit to which they would be entitled for up to one year, as long as each member receives the equivalent of up to half the minimum wage.
In June, the length of stay in the protection rule was reduced from two to one year. However, those who met the rule until May this year will continue to receive half the benefit for two years.

Defeso Insurance is paid to people who survive exclusively from artisanal fishing and who cannot carry out the activity during the piracema period (fish reproduction).
