Emergency aid 2021 has much stricter selection criteria. As a result, some families may be denied assistance. See how to resolve the situation if the 2021 aid is denied

Emergency Aid has been salvation for millions of people in the last year. On the occasion, the amount paid by the government was much greater than in 2021. Furthermore, the amount of people entitled to aid was much greater than this year. Data from Dataprev indicates that around 41 million people had the benefit approved in the first stage. In 2020, that number was 60 million people. This shows that many people are denied aid.

My emergency aid was denied. What should I do?

With much less money available for the payment of Emergency Aid, the government went through a fine-tooth comb and tightened the rules so that only people who really need the 2021 aid are entitled to the program. But, if you think that there was an error in the evaluation, you can resort to the denied assistance through the Ministry of Citizenship. The deadline to apply for the program is only 10 days.

Emergency aid denied!

People will be able to see whether or not they have been approved for emergency aid 2021 this Friday (02). You will be able to have this information exclusively through the website www.cidadania.gov.br/auxilio.If I am denied assistance, you can contest it on the platform itself. But it is worth mentioning that you can only resort to the criteria where some data can still be updated in Dataprev.

Unlike last year, the criteria for requesting emergency aid have become much stricter and the assessment of each person has also become stricter. With this, it will certainly reduce the number of people who will receive emergency aid without actually needing it. Aid 2021 will be paid to people with income of up to half salary per capita minimum.

Amounts to be paid

On average, the 2021 aid will be paid in 4 installments of BRL 250. Families with female heads of household will be able to have a higher amount, with BRL 375 of benefit. The amount is much lower than in 2020, but emergency aid will certainly have a major impact on these families.
