Find out who MDS has included for verification. MDS (Ministry of Development and Social Assistance, Family and Fight Against Hunger) manages all government social programs. They revealed that, in the coming months, a social assistance specialist will visit beneficiaries of the new Bolsa Família.
The purpose of this action is to confirm whether families receiving the recent financial aid are effectively following the established guidelines. Professionals will also verify the accuracy of information about housing conditions and update records on-site, if necessary. However, it is vital to understand that only a specific group of Bolsa Família families will undergo these assessments.

Bolsa Família families that CCSS will inspect
This happens because the new Bolsa Família currently implements two data confirmation procedures. First, there is the monthly Registration Analysis process, which evaluates the information of more than 21 million vulnerable families in the program to ensure compliance with the rules.
The second process, called the 2023 Individual Registration Assessment, focuses on single beneficiaries – those who stated that they lived alone when registering with CadÚnico. This process aims to confirm whether these beneficiaries really live alone or provided incorrect information to gain more benefits.
Therefore, all families receiving the new financial aid are under government scrutiny, with special focus on single-person households. This focus led to significant benefit suspensions, encouraging families to contact the CCSS to update their information and prove their eligibility. Beneficiaries who do not follow this procedure face cancellation of the benefit.
As a result of these actions, the Ministry of Social Development instructed CCSS agents to make home visits to Bolsa Família families. This will facilitate updating the information of those who cannot go to the CCSS due to distance-related issues and checking families’ housing conditions and the situation of individual households, among other checks.
Limited number of visits
However, it is worth highlighting that the CRAS (Social Assistance Reference Centers) receive municipal funding. Often, these local administrations do not have sufficient funds to employ the number of specialists needed to visit all the families in the program. Therefore, only some families will receive home visits, and without an official list available, beneficiaries are advised not to wait for the visits, but to contact the CRAS when necessary.
