Bolsa Família 2023 rules?
In 2023, the Federal Government began reformulating Bolsa Família, establishing new guidelines and implementing several changes. In general terms, families with a monthly income of up to R$ 218 per person may be eligible.
It is also crucial to be registered with CadÚnico (the Federal Government's Single Registry) to participate in the program. This registration allows the Federal Government to identify families eligible to receive the benefit.
In addition, after joining Bolsa Família, beneficiaries must meet certain conditions to continue receiving payments. See what they are:
- Updating CadÚnico whenever there is a change in the family's information, or every two years;
- Keeping the vaccination records of children, adolescents, and pregnant women up to date;
- A minimum school attendance rate of 60% for children between 4 and 5 years old and 75% for children over 6 years old;
- Receiving prenatal care during pregnancy;
- Nutritional monitoring for women and children up to 7 years old.

Families that meet the rules and wish to apply must register with CadÚnico. The person responsible for the family must go to the nearest CRAS (Social Assistance and Reference Center), carrying documents for all family members who live in the same household. After completing the information and answering a socioeconomic questionnaire, it is necessary to wait for a new selection by the Federal Government, based on the available places and the Union's budget, with an analysis of the information in CadÚnico.
