Who is entitled to the Brazil Aid?

To be entitled to the Auxílio Brasil payments, it is necessary to live in extreme poverty, with a family income of up to R$ 105.00 per person, or in conditions of poverty with a family income of up to R$ 210.00 per person, with at least one pregnant woman, nursing mother or under 21 years of age in the nucleus familiar.

What is the purpose of the cuts?

Despite the controversies and complaints, this is a common procedure of the Federal Government. In this way, undue payment of the benefit is avoided, especially to citizens with fraudulent information. Also, through some updates, some families no longer fit the rules to receive aid.

Because of this, it is essential to keep CadÚnico updated whenever there is any change in the family, such as the birth of a new child, change of address or new job.

How is the assessment done?

Before the blockade, an extensive and meticulous evaluation is made of the data reported in the Single Registry, comparing them with other bases, such as the INSS and the Ministry of Labor. In these cases, some irregularities and conflicting information were found, such as the number of family members, monthly income and others.

What to do when your benefit is blocked?

First you need to find the reason why there was a cut in your benefit. To do this, just go to the Social Assistance Reference Center (CRAS) in person and present the documents that prove that you follow all the requirements to receive the Brazil Aid.

In addition, through the benefit application, it is also possible to access details about your account, such as registered data, reason for cancellation, amounts and payment dates.
