There is an expectation of the program having an increase of 200 reais. Meanwhile, the question that has raised doubts is in relation to who recently got a formal job.
Caixa Econômica Federal makes the payment of Auxílio Brasil to the penultimate group of beneficiaries this Wednesday (20) for the month of April. According to the rules of the calendar, the group that receives are people with the Social Registration Number (NIS) ending in 4. Last Thursday (14th), they received beneficiaries with NIS ending in 1, on Monday (18th) it was the turn of those who had NIS ending in 2; and on Tuesday (19), those with ending 3 had the resources released. But what if people who work in the offshore business or other sectors get a formal job recently?
Currently there are 18,06 million families served by Auxílio Brasil, totaling resources that exceed R$ 7,4 billion. The minimum amount that will be paid is R$400. For the next payments, there is the possibility of an increase, going to R$600. Congress which has until May 16 to consider the Provisional Measure that increased the payment of the benefit. It turns out that the opposition defends that R$ 600 be paid, even if it is an electoral gain for President Jair Bolsonaro.

Meanwhile, the main question is whether people who got formal employment, ie formal job, they will be able to continue receiving the Brazil Aid. The answer is yes! But, for the amounts to be deposited, the male or female worker must be framed in the basic rules of the program. See below who can receive the benefit:
- Family member in a situation of extreme poverty: per capita monthly family income of up to R$ 105
- Family member living in poverty: per capita monthly family income between R$ 105,01 and R$ 210
Per capita income is calculated based on the sum of the income of all residents of a residence, and which is divided by the total number of people living under the maintenance of this total income. The same rule applies to Individual Micro Entrepreneurs (MEI).
The future of the Brazil Aid program
Since it was announced, the Auxílio Brasil program has generated a lot of debate. The benefit is a change from the former Bolsa Família, in which an average of R$ 224 was paid to beneficiaries. The name change itself generated quite a bit of debate.
Another controversy regarding the benefit is in relation to where the funds for payment come from, as the Federal Government has not yet made this clear, giving rise to criticism about the possibility of a breach of more than R$ 30 billion in the spending ceiling. .
The expectation of Government to guarantee the resources is through the PEC of Precatories which allows the negotiation of debts that the Government owes in court and the reform of the Income Tax.
This Tuesday (19), the president of the Chamber of Deputies, Arthur Lira, admitted the risk in the value of the Brazil Aid. “There's always risk,” he said at a press conference. Regarding the vote on the Provisional Measure that deals with the increase, the parliamentarian said that “it will be treated with all responsibility, a clear debate in the plenary, of the possibilities of maintaining the text or changing what the plenary, the majority of the deputies, find it convenient”. Appreciation should take place next week.
About the 13th salary of the Brazil Aid in 2022
The Brazil Aid must be paid annually in 12 installments, as stated in the current rule. However, there is the Bill # 625 / 22, authored by Senator Alexandre Silveira (PSD-MG), with the aim of introducing an extra payment, increasing the number of installments in the year to 13. If approved by the Senate, the text will be submitted to the analysis of the Chamber, which may block the PL, approve or change the text.
