The Brazil Aid was being paid in installments of R$400. However, with the approval by the National Congress of the PEC which allowed an increase of R$ 200 in the amount paid for the social program, until December of this year, the more than 18 million families benefited will now receive R$ 600 for the maintenance of their expenses.
The approved PEC authorized the Bolsonaro government to spend more than BRL 41.2 billion on social benefits this year, as the increase granted in the Auxílio Brasil and the aid to truck drivers and taxi drivers due to the increase in the value of fuels. It is estimated that by December, the expansion in the payment of the Brazil Aid will cost R$ 26 billion to the public coffers.
In an interview given to CNN Brasil, the President of the Republic stated that he intends to maintain the amount of BRL 600 for the year 2023, as long as there is possibility within the Responsibility Law Supervisor.
However, the budget proposal that will be forwarded to the National Congress by August 31 provides for a value of R$ 400. Thus, if any change is made, the members of the government's economic team say that it will only happen next year.
The presidential candidate and former president of Brazil, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, said in an interview with Correio Braziliense, which intends to make permanent the amount of R$ 600 paid by Auxílio Brasil if elected in October. According to him, the PT would like this to be the amount paid for social benefits from 2020 onwards.
