Caixa Econômica Federal concludes today (25) the payment of the October installment of Auxílio Brasil. Beneficiaries with a Social Registration Number (NIS) ending in 0 will receive this Tuesday.
This is the third installment with a minimum amount of R$ 600, as constitutional amendment promulgated in July by the National Congress. The amount will be valid until December.
The constitutional amendment also authorized the inclusion of 2.2 million families in Auxílio Brasil. As a result, the total number of people served by the program rose to 20.2 million in this semester.
In January, the minimum amount of Auxílio Brasil will return to R$ 400, unless a new proposal to amend the Constitution is approved. Traditionally, Auxílio Brasil dates follow the Bolsa Família model, which paid on the last ten working days of the month. Nonetheless, concierge edited at the beginning of October anticipated the payment of this month’s installment, which takes place between the 11th and 25th.

Caixa also concluded today the payment of Auxílio Gás to families enrolled in the Single Registry for Social Programs of the Federal Government (CadÚnico), with final NIS 0. With a value of R$ 112 this month, the benefit follows the Auxílio Brasil calendar.
With an expected duration of five years, the program will benefit 5.5 million families by the end of 2026. The benefit, which was equivalent to 50% of the average price of a 13-kilogram cylinder in the last six months, was resumed in August with the 100% of the average price, which is equivalent to BRL 112 in October . The increase will be in effect until December, according to a constitutional amendment enacted by Congress.
Paid every two months, Auxílio Gás originally had a budget of R$1.9 billion for this year, but the budget rose to R$2.95 billion after the enactment of the amendment.
Only those who are included in CadÚnico and have at least one family member who receives the Continuous Cash Benefit (BPC) can be part of the program. The law that created the program defined that the woman responsible for the family has preference, as well as women victims of domestic violence.
Basic benefits
Auxílio Brasil has three basic benefits and six supplementary benefits, which can be added if the beneficiary gets a job or has a child who excels in sports, scientific or academic competitions.
Can receive the extra benefits families with income per capita of up to R$ 100, considered in extreme poverty, and of up to R$ 200, in poverty.
THE Brazil Agency prepared a question-and-answer guide on Auxílio Brasil. Among the doubts that the beneficiary can ask are the criteria for integrating the social program, the nine different types of benefits and what happened with Bolsa Família and emergency aid, which were in force until October last year.
