Bolsa Família payments take place during the last ten business days of each month. Beneficiary families are divided into ten groups based on the last digit of their Social Identification Number (NIS). In this way, payment processing takes place in a structured and systematic manner. NIS holders with the digits 8, 9, and 0 can rest assured, as their payments are secure. It is worth noting that NIS 0 holders will receive their payment early, on Saturday the 29th, concluding the week’s payment cycle.
