Bolsa Família: government ends payments next week; see who receives it

In March, more than 20 million families were covered by the Bolsa Família payment, which began on the 15th. Thus, the average amount paid to each family unit is R$$ 679.23, which is deposited into the digital social savings account of CAIXA Econômica Federal and the amount can be transferred through the CAIXA Tem app (available for Android and iOS).

Thus, next Monday (25), the last week of Bolsa Família payments begins, which continues until Thursday (28). So, this week, families whose beneficiary has a Social Identification Number (NIS) ending in: 7, 8, 9 and 0 will receive payments.

Family Allowance Values

Therefore, check out the additional Bolsa Família values beyond R$ 600, which is the base value:

  • Early Childhood Benefit (BPI): additional R$ 150 for children from zero to seven years old;
  • Family Variable Benefit (BVF): additional R$ 50 for pregnant women and children and adolescents aged 7 to 18 years;
  • Variable Family Benefit for Nursing Mothers (BVN): additional R$ 50 for babies up to seven months old (nursing mothers).

However, it is important to highlight that the values vary according to the family composition of the beneficiary nucleus of the social program.

Furthermore, it is worth remembering that, if there is no movement of the benefit within 120 days (4 months) after release, the money returns to the federal government's coffers.
