In addition to Auxílio Brasil, Brazilian citizens have access to various social benefits, many of which are provided by state or municipal governments. In the state of São Paulo, for example, there is a program called Renda Cidadã, which serves unemployed or underemployed families with financial difficulties. Through this program, it is possible to receive benefits of R$ 100 per month.

Renda Cidadã was created in 2017 and strengthened in the previous year by adding the role of benefits and actions of the Bolsa do Povo in the state of São Paulo. As a result, more than 50,000 families will benefit from the Citizen's Income, which will cost BRL 1 billion by 2021.
The benefit pays a monthly fee of R$100 to low-income families in São Paulo, who can redeem the amount with the Bolsa do Povo card at Banco do Brasil branches. However, you must meet all the criteria required to participate in the program. See more below.
Every resident of the state of São Paulo who meets one of the following criteria may have access to the Citizen's Income benefit: those who are in a situation of precarious housing or do not have a home some; are unemployed or underemployed; have chemical dependence or other health problems; have illiteracy or have low professional qualifications.
In addition, it is also necessary that the per capita family income is up to half the minimum wage, that is, R$ 606. Not to mention that it is necessary to be registered with CadÚnico and have all family data updated.
In addition to financial support, families receive professional training and other forms of assistance. The children's school attendance and their health conditions are also monitored so that the citizen can receive R$ 100 from the social program.
