Families benefiting from Bolsa Família must guarantee school attendance for children and adolescents aged four to 17, which implies that these family members must be enrolled in regular schools and attend classes regularly.
Prenatal care
Pregnant women should undergo prenatal care in health units, which is crucial to ensuring the health of the mother and child and allowing early detection of problems, in addition to providing access to appropriate medical care.
Monitoring nutritional status
The Bolsa Família program also requires nutritional monitoring of children up to the age of seven, carried out by measuring their weight and height. It is vital that families regularly monitor their children's development and growth and provide them with healthy nutrition.
National vaccination calendar
Families receiving Bolsa Família must adhere to the national vaccination calendar, which indicates that children must be vaccinated according to their age, ensuring protection against diseases and contributing to collective health.
When enrolling a child in a school and ensuring their vaccination at a health center, it is essential to inform that the family is a Bolsa Família beneficiary, helping to keep records up to date and ensuring that the family meets all the necessary conditions to continue receiving the aid.
Financial protection
The Bolsa Família program assertively combats poverty and inequality in Brazil. It provides financial protection to families experiencing situations of vulnerability, providing benefits categorically structured for different ages and needs. However, maintaining compliance with the conditions stipulated by the program is crucial to ensuring the maintenance of the benefit.
The information provided in this article about the benefits of Bolsa Família and the conditions for receiving it provide essential knowledge for families. This way, they can understand the program more deeply and ensure that they are adhering to all of its regulations.
