Changes to Bolsa Família in September
In September, Bolsa Família introduces changes aimed at providing more intensive support to participating families. Since the beginning of 2023, the government has been offering supplementary financial assistance, and September will continue this trend.
Extra assistance for children between 0 and 6 years old
In short, families with children in this age group will receive an additional incentive of R$ 150 per child. This assistance aims to provide a little help with expenses for the little ones.
Extra benefit for children and adolescents aged 7 to 17
This month, families with children between 7 and 17 years old will also receive a bonus of R$ 50 per young person. This certainly provides more support for education and care expenses.
Bonus for pregnant women or breastfeeding mothers
A significant addition is the R$ 50 bonus for families with pregnant women or mothers who are breastfeeding children up to seven months old. This assistance aims to strengthen the budgets of the most disadvantaged families, offering greater financial security at this time.
However, it is worth noting that in addition to these benefits, Bolsa Família also includes Auxílio-gás, valued at R$ 110.
Intended for everyone registered with the Single Registry (CadÚnico) with a family per capita income of up to half the minimum wage, this benefit seeks to ensure that families have the gas needed to prepare their meals.

Risks of fraud linked to Bolsa Família
Wrongdoers often seek opportunities to take advantage of others’ vulnerability, and Bolsa Família may be on their radar. Thus, they often send fake emails or messages, implying that data must be updated to continue receiving the benefit. These messages often contain links intended to capture personal information.

Suspicious phone calls
Scammers may try to make contact while posing as program agents. They may request personal data, such as bank account details or CPF, claiming it is for an update. This data may later be used to commit fraud.
Finally, in certain situations, fraudsters may claim that a fee must be paid to continue receiving Bolsa Família. The program does not charge fees, and any request for payment is undoubtedly a fraud.
Therefore, stay well informed about the Bolsa Família guidelines and the ways to access it. Becoming informed is undoubtedly one of the most effective ways to protect yourself against fraud.
