Beneficiaries with a Social Registration Number (NIS) ending in 1 were the first to receive the amounts. This month's installment is the first to include an additional R$50 for families with pregnant women and children between the ages of 7 and 18.

Bolsa Familia has been supplemented since March

Another additional benefit that Bolsa Família has paid to Brazilians is R$150. In this case, the bonus has been deposited since March, but only for families that include children from 0 to 6 years.

It is possible to receive up to two additional children of the same amount, adding up to R$ 300, as long as there are 2 or more children in the same age group.

It is important to remember that the common value of the benefit installment was established at R$ 600. Therefore, for those who have two children or more than 6 years, the installment reaches R$ 900.

See the bonus summary:

• Families without children and without pregnant women: BRL 600
• Families with up to 1 child aged 0 to 6 years: R$750;
• Families with more than 1 child up to 6 years old: BRL 900;
• Portion for pregnant women and for each child between 7 and 18 years old: R$50.

To receive payments, beneficiaries must have all data updated in the Cadastro Único (CadÚnico) and also that all prerequisites for receiving benefits completed.

This includes keeping children's immunization records up to date, satisfactory school attendance, and correctly performed prenatal exams.

Registration update and cuts

Another point worth mentioning is the cancellation of millions of families that presented irregularities. The current government went through a “fine-tooth comb” in CadÚnico data to remove undue Bolsa Família beneficiaries.

However, there are still 1.2 million citizens who have been given a period of 60 days to re-register, correcting the identified irregularities.

All information regarding amounts and payment terms are available in the Caixa Tem application for each Bolsa Família beneficiary.
