The Benefit Will Be Calculated Initially Per Person — R $142 For Each Member — Ranging From Minimum Income For Single-Person Families To Complements For Those With Fewer Members.
The New Bolsa Família Policy Also Includes Additions Of R $150 For Children Aged 0 To 6 Years And R $50 For Members Aged 7 To 18 Years. This Data Represents A Reduction Compared To The Number Of Beneficiaries Previously Covered By Auxílio Brasil Due To The Removal Of Families That Received The Benefit Irregularly.
With These Measures, The Government Seeks To End Distortions And Ensure A Continuous And Equitable Flow For All Brazilians, A Promise Made During The Elections By Both Lula And Bolsonaro. The Adjustment Was Made Based On A Constitutional Amendment Proposal (PEC) Articulated By Lula, To Allocate A Ceiling Of R $175 Billion To The New Bolsa Família. Despite This, The Amount Spent On The Program During 2023 Is Expected To Be Between R $168 Billion And R $175 Billion, According To Technicians.

However, A ‘Guaranteed Return’ Was Announced For Those Who Voluntarily Disconnect From The Program Or Lose Income And Need To Return.
The Minister Also Informed About A Protection Rule For Those Who Obtain A Job With Formal Employment: The Family Can Increase Its Income By Up To Half A Minimum Wage Per Member Without Being Immediately Excluded From The Social Benefit. The President Of Caixa Econômica Federal (CEF), Rita Serrano, Also Announced That All Bolsa Família Cards Will Become Debit Cards.
At The End Of The Ceremony, The Minister Became Emotional About The Cause And Made An Appeal: “Let’s Take Brazil Out Of The Hunger Map. Let’s Take Brazil Out Of The Map Of Food Insecurity And Nutritional Insecurity!”, He Said, While Asking The Audience To Pray A Lord’s Prayer Aloud.

With This, Families Will Start Receiving An Average Of R $715 Per Month. The Government Allocated R $175 Billion For The New Bolsa Família This Year And Estimates Benefiting About 20.8 Million Families – A Mountain Of Hope For Millions Living In A Sea Of Difficulties.
