Caixa Econômica Federal pays, this Thursday (17), the February installment of Auxílio Brasil to beneficiaries with a Social Registration Number (NIS) ending in 4.
The minimum amount of the benefit is R$ 400, and the dates follow the model of the old Bolsa Família, which paid on the last ten working days of the month.
The beneficiary will be able to consult information on payment dates, benefit amount and composition of installments in two applications: Auxílio Brasil, developed for the social program, and Caixa Tem, used to monitor the bank’s digital savings accounts.
Currently, 17.5 million families are served by the program. At the beginning of the year, 3 million were included in Auxílio Brasil.
The law that created the program defined that the woman responsible for the family will have preference, as well as women victims of domestic violence.
Basic benefits
Auxílio Brasil has three basic benefits and six supplementary benefits, which can be added if the beneficiary gets a job or has a child who excels in sports, scientific and academic competitions.
Families with a per capita income of up to R$100, considered in extreme poverty, and up to R$200, in a condition of poverty, can receive the benefit.
This month, there will be no payment of Auxílio Gás, which will benefit 5.5 million families by the end of 2026. The benefit, which is equivalent to 50% of the average price of a 13-kilogram cylinder, is only paid every two months and will return in March.
