The program Brazil Aid it is the way in which the Federal Government benefits families in situations of social vulnerability. In this case, the approval guarantees R$ 400 for those registered with the CadÚnico with proof of poverty or extreme poverty. In addition to payment, the Government also provides the delivery of cards that make handling money more practical. However, many Brazilians have an active registration in the program and have not yet received this item. Therefore, the Ministry of Citizenship already plans the manufacture and delivery of new Brazil Aid cards.

The card delivered has a magnetic chip, which facilitates its use in most markets and stores with card machines. Therefore, the citizen who receives it will be able to use it in the debit function to purchase products from the amount available in the Caixa account.
However, it is not possible to pay the amount of purchases in installments, since it does not have a credit function. Even so, it is a way to make going to the market much more practical, and that is why many beneficiaries want it. On the other hand, it is worth mentioning that it is not necessary to have the physical card to receive, handle and withdraw the amount related to the benefit. So, even if you don't have the card, you can make purchases, transfers and even pay bills with that money. For this, all you need is to have the Caixa Tem application, which is an app that came up with the payment of the Emergency Aid and which now goes on to use the Brazil Aid.
There is still no forecast for sending new cards to beneficiaries. However, the Ministry of Citizenship states that it is still intending to produce new units and send them to all those who remain to receive them. However, opposition deputies and jurists find it unnecessary to send it, as the citizen can handle the aid money quietly through the app.
In addition, it is argued that sending the cards, as well as opening the aid to more Brazilians, is a political maneuver by President Jair Bolsonaro, who seeks to be re-elected. However, this attitude would be in vain, given the lack of percentage points in opinion polls. In fact, the release of the Auxílio Brasil had little influence on its popularity.
