Consultation of benefits and care with unofficial applications
Bolsa Família beneficiaries can check the benefit amounts on official apps recommended by the Ministry of Development and Social Assistance, Family and Fight against Hunger (MDS). Many families can already view the amounts for January on these apps. However, it is essential to only perform these queries on official platforms to avoid viewing generic and incorrect amounts, in addition to the risk of personal data leaks. Therefore, the apps approved by the federal government include Bolsa Família, available for Android and iOS, and Caixa Tem, also for Android and iOS.
Bolsa Família payment dates in January
The second vital piece of information for Bolsa Família beneficiaries is about the payment schedule for the amounts now in January. Therefore, the payment dates are aligned with the final digit of the beneficiaries' Social Identification Number (NIS). The full schedule is as follows: Final 1 on January 18, Final 2 on January 19, and so on, until Final 0 on January 31. This schedule helps beneficiaries organize themselves financially and plan their expenses more effectively.
