Bolsa Família beneficiaries may have forgotten amounts in their accounts; find out more

In Friburgo, Bolsa Família beneficiaries may be losing significant amounts of their benefits without realizing it. These beneficiaries may often have forgotten amounts in their accounts due to changes in the program's rules or lack of communication about updates. 

Therefore, it is crucial that these amounts are identified to ensure that families receive the financial support to which they are entitled. Since it is important to remember that the deadline to withdraw the benefit after release in CAIXA Tem (available for Android and iOS) is 120 days, that is, four months, after this period, the money returns to the federal government.

How to recover your Bolsa Família payment

Therefore, to recover forgotten Bolsa Família amounts in Friburgo, beneficiaries must contact the responsible agencies, such as the local city hall or CAIXA Econômica Federal. Therefore, it is essential to provide adequate documentation and follow the necessary procedures to ensure effective recovery of the amounts.

Furthermore, keeping your registration up to date is essential to avoid losing Bolsa Família benefits. Therefore, beneficiaries must report any changes in their family, financial or address situation to ensure that they receive all the amounts to which they are entitled.
