The Bolsa Família program announces payments for the month of March and registered families will have access to the additional amounts promised. Stay tuned for dates and changes for 2023. Check out the full story and stay on top of the details.

Those who receive the Bolsa Família should already know about this year's innovations in the income distribution program. It is possible to update your data and guarantee these benefits through the CadÚnico platform or with the help of the CRAS closest to you.

Initially, it is necessary to know that government beneficiaries have a Social Identification Number (NIS), where the final digit shows the dates of payment of benefits.

First of all, have your NIS in hand and check the calendar released by Bolsa Família below. Above all, remember to check the amounts received when withdrawing the benefit.

Currently, according to the new Bolsa Família rules, children up to 6 years old will benefit from an increase of R$150 over the amount of R$ 600 already paid for the benefit.

The value added per child allows the benefit to reach R$ 750. Even, in the case of two children within the family, the benefit will rise to R$ 900 and so on.

To do this, first, update your data in CadÚnico and regularize possible situations of suspension of Bolsa Família. Likewise, keep vaccination records up to date and children enrolled in school.

Don't forget to also prove your income that must fit the program requirements. Don't risk having your benefit blocked.

First, have your main documents in hand and access the federal government website. Apply for pre-registration at CadÚnico and then look for the nearest CRAS to receive guidance.

The required documents are:

The family representative must be over 16 years old and have information on all residents of the residence. In the case of children up to 6 years old, proof of vaccinations and enrollment in school.

In addition, the benefit is paid preferentially to female heads of household. This is a way of ensuring dignity and respect for low-income single mothers.

First, the family needs to have an income per person that fits the profile of poverty or extreme poverty. All in all, this income should be up to R$ 282 per person. Values must be proven.

Following this thought, it is still necessary to have updated data in the Cadastro Único, as mentioned above, based on the government with people in vulnerable situations.

The federal government also asks families to commit to certain requirements, such as:

In this way, the guarantee of quality of life and commitment to the main guidelines of current management, which are health and education, are encouraged with the payment of Bolsa Família.

Finally, it is also worth noting that the government will look for irregularities with a fine-tooth comb. Families that do not fit the profile stipulated above or that do not meet the requirements may have their benefits suspended.
