The payment of the October Bolsa Família installment is approaching. Soon, the Federal Government will transfer the funds to Caixa Econômica Federal, which will distribute the benefit to millions of Brazilians.
Bolsa Família is Brazil’s main income distribution program. In September, the government allocated R$ 14.58 billion to benefit 21.47 million families. Each beneficiary received an average of R$ 686.89 that month, making it the second-highest monthly amount distributed by the program.

Summary of Bolsa Família for October
The Federal Government has already defined the Bolsa Família payment dates for October. Caixa generally makes the payments during the last ten business days of the month, following the final digit of each beneficiary’s Social Identification Number (NIS). Thus, a different group accesses the amount in their accounts each day.
