Caixa starts paying this Friday (18) the March installment of Auxílio Brasil to beneficiaries with a final Social Registration Number (NIS) 1.
The minimum benefit amount is R$ 400. The dates will follow the Bolsa Família model, which was paid on the last ten working days of the month.
The beneficiary can 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.
Gas Allowance
The Gas Aid is also paid this Friday to families registered in the Single Registry for Social Programs of the Federal Government (CadÚnico), with final NIS 1.
The benefit follows the regular payment schedule of Auxílio Brasil.
With an expected duration of five years, the program will benefit 5.5 million families by the end of 2026, with the payment of 50% of the average price of a 13-kilogram cylinder, as calculated by the National Petroleum Agency (ANP).
Paid every two months, Auxílio Gás has a budget of R$ 1.9 billion for this year.
Only those who are included in CadÚnico and have at least one family member who receive the Continuous Cash Benefit (BPC) can participate in the program.
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 income per capita of up to R$100, considered in a situation of extreme poverty, and up to R$200, in a condition of poverty.
THE Brazil Agency prepared a question-and-answer guide on Auxílio Brasil. Among the doubts that the beneficiary can ask are criteria for joining the program, nine different types of benefits and what happened with Bolsa Família and emergency aid, which were in force until October.
