Bolsa Família payments for October began on the 18th and will continue until the 31st. Therefore, a different group receives the benefit installments each day. This Wednesday (10/25), Caixa Econômica Federal made the deposit for beneficiaries whose NIS (Social Identification Number) ends in 6.
Many people enrolled in the program have the chance to receive their payments with additional amounts, based on the composition of their family unit. These adjustments result from recent updates to Bolsa Família, implemented by the Federal Government in recent times.

Caixa deposits Bolsa Família payment with extra this Wednesday
Bolsa Família beneficiaries whose NIS ends in 6 and who meet the family composition criteria may receive extra installments today.
Initially, the Ministry of Social Development (MDS) confirms a payment of R$ 142 per family member, ensuring that each household receives no less than R$ 600.
Above the amount of R$ 600, many beneficiaries are also entitled to an additional amount of up to R$ 150 per person. See who is eligible:
- Pregnant and breastfeeding women (extra R$ 50);
- Children and young people aged 7 to 17 (extra R$ 50);
- Children up to 6 years old (extra R$ 150).
Furthermore, the additional amounts are cumulative. This means that larger families tend to receive more. Keeping the registration in CadÚnico (the Federal Government's Single Registry for Social Assistance) up to date is crucial to ensuring the extras.
This is because CadÚnico collects data on everyone enrolled in government assistance programs. The Government then relies on these records to distribute its benefits.
In general, beneficiaries need to update their information whenever there are changes, such as members joining or leaving the household or salary changes. It is also essential for the head of the family to update the data every two years, even if there are no changes.
To update CadÚnico, go to the nearest CRAS (Social Assistance Reference Center) with the personal documents of yourself and the other residents of the household.
