The Bolsa Família of October Starts Being Paid From The 20th, According To The Final Digit Of The NIS; The Program Keeps Extra Benefits For Children, Pregnant Women, And Babies, With Amounts That Ensure Minimum Income Of R$ 600 Per Family
The payments of Bolsa Família of October will begin on the 20th and continue until the 31st of October, according to the official schedule of the Ministry of Development and Social Assistance, Family, and Fight Against Hunger. The calendar respects the last digit of the NIS (Social Identification Number), which defines the exact date on which each group of beneficiaries receives the amount.
The program maintains the minimum income of R$ 600 per family, in addition to additional benefits for children, pregnant women, and babies up to seven months old. The government emphasizes that compliance with health and education rules — such as vaccinations, prenatal care, and school attendance — remains mandatory for the maintenance of the benefit.
Payment Calendar Of The Bolsa Família In October
The Bolsa Família of October will be paid during the last ten working days of the month. See below the dates according to the final digit of the NIS:

What Are The Values And Benefits Paid In October
The program maintains different payment brackets, with fixed and additional benefits that vary according to family composition.
The main ones are:
Citizen Income (BRC): R$ 142 per person in the family unit;
Complementary Benefit (BCO): ensures the minimum amount of R$ 600 per family;
Early Childhood Benefit (BPI): R$ 150 for each child up to 6 years old;
Variable Family Benefit (BVF): R$ 50 additional for pregnant women and youth between 7 and 17 years old;
Variable Nursing Benefit (BVN): R$ 50 monthly per baby up to 7 months old, active since September.
These additions are part of the program’s reformulation that aims to protect families with children and encourage child development, in addition to reinforcing the fight against malnutrition and school dropout.
Rules To Keep The Benefit Active
To continue receiving the Bolsa Família of October and future disbursements, beneficiaries must keep up to date with the obligations in health and education, which are legal requirements of the program:
Ensure enrollment and school attendance for ages 4 to 17;
Fulfill prenatal care during pregnancy;
Monitor the growth and weight of children under 7 years old;
Keep all vaccinations up to date according to the schedule of the Ministry of Health.
Noncompliance with these rules may lead to the suspension or temporary blocking of the benefit.
Therefore, it is essential for families to update their information and prove compliance with the requirements whenever requested.
What Changes In The Coming Months
The government confirmed that Bolsa Família will continue to be paid during the last ten working days of each month, except for December, when the calendar is advanced so that disbursements are completed before Christmas.
- October: 20 to 31
- November: 14 to 28
- December: 10 to 23
These dates allow families to better plan their expenses and avoid delays in using the benefit, especially during the year-end period, when costs with food and transportation tend to increase.
