Born in August can withdraw the 7th installment of emergency aid

Informal workers enrolled in the Single Registry for Social Programs of the Federal Government (CadÚnico) born in August can withdraw, as of this Friday (12), the seventh installment of the emergency aid 2021. The money was deposited in the digital savings accounts of Federal Savings Bank on October 28th.

Resources can also be transferred to a checking account at no cost to the user. Until now, money could only be moved through the Caixa Tem application, which allows the payment of domestic bills (water, electricity, telephone and gas), payment slips, purchases in virtual stores or purchases with the QR code (advanced version of barcode) on the machines of partner establishments.

In case of doubts, Caixa’s 111 telephone exchange is open from Monday to Sunday, from 7:00 am to 10:00 pm. In addition, the beneficiary can consult the website auxilio.caixa.gov.br.

The emergency aid was created in April of last year by the federal government to assist vulnerable people affected by the pandemic of Covid-19.

It was paid in five installments of R$600 or R$1,200 to single-parent mothers and then extended until December 31, 2020 in up to four installments of R$300 or R$600 each.

This year, the payment round had seven installments from BRL 150 to BRL 375, depending on the profile: families, in general, received BRL 250, the single-parent family, headed by a woman, received BRL 375, and people who live alone received R$150.

Rules

Under the established rules, the aid was paid to families with a total monthly income of up to three minimum wages, as long as the income per person was less than half the minimum wage. The beneficiary had to have been considered eligible by December 2020, as there was no new application phase. For whoever receives the family allowance, the most advantageous value rule continued to apply, whether the portion paid in the social program or the emergency aid.

The program would end with the fourth installment, deposited in July and withdrawn in August, but it was extended until October, with the same amounts for the benefit.
