Many Brazilians have sought other ways to generate additional income due to the country's economic situation. Some of them prefer to choose to register as individual microentrepreneurs (MEIs) and guarantee the rights that this category offers to self-employed professionals. However, when that person is part of the Auxílio Brasil program and becomes MEI, the question arises as to whether he is still entitled to the benefit. Check more below!

The benefit guaranteed by Auxílio Brasil is still allowed for those who become individual micro-entrepreneurs, as well as the now extinct emergency aid. In this way, for people with an active MEI number, the rules are the same, so that it is necessary to fall into the category of extreme poverty or poverty.
Beneficiaries may remain on the payroll for another 24 months if their per capita income has increased and this new income exceeds the limit for entry into the Brazil Aid (a condition called the Rule of Emancipation). This information was disclosed by the Ministry of Citizenship, during discussion with parliamentarians.
In addition, the person can also apply for microcredit without having to give up the Auxílio Brasil, with the fact that it does not harm more than 30% of the total amount of benefits received by the government. Thus, this decision aims to better manage family budgets and direct towards more assertive financial planning for these small businesses.
Those who are not enrolled in any federal government program need to enroll in the Single Registry (CadÚnico). This registration system has the function of collecting data on the country's low-income population. In this way, registrations can be made at the Social Assistance Reference Center (CRAS) closest to your residence.
To apply, go to the official website, fill out the form with your full name, date of birth, mother's name and select your state and city of residence. Finally, click "Send" and you're done.
