Little-known benefits of Bolsa Família
One of the exclusive offers is access to the Social Electricity Tariff. This way, subscribers receive discounts on their electricity bills. They have the right to request this discount, which can reach up to 65% of the total amount, depending on their monthly electricity consumption.
Another advantage, which is rarely mentioned, is the chance to join the Minha Casa Minha Vida Program. This scheme provides financial benefits and special financing options for low-income families, including those enrolled in the Bolsa Família program. It is possible to get large discounts on the purchase of a house and have easier terms for paying the installments.

Bolsa Família Privileges
Registered families can request exemption from registration fees for public competitions at federal, state and municipal levels. This way, they have a greater chance of getting jobs and ensuring financial stability.
Additionally, it is important to mention the various free course options to improve the professional qualifications of those enrolled. These training courses aim to improve work skills and increase income, in addition to helping with insertion into the job market.
It is essential to remember that Bolsa Família beneficiaries have priority access to various social programs and services, such as schools, health centers, and more. This privileged access seeks to ensure a better quality of life and the use of essential services for those at risk.
Receipts via Caixa Tem
Currently, more than 20 million people receive Bolsa Família. However, many complain about the long lines to withdraw the benefit. Did you know that there is a more practical way to receive the payment?
The Bolsa Família program aims to rescue families from precarious economic and social situations. To this end, the government has increased the amount for all participants, now establishing a base amount of R$1,600, in addition to additional payments.
For families with children aged 0 to 6, they give an extra R$150 per child. They also add R$ 50 for each member who is a child between 7 and 18 years old, pregnant women and breastfeeding women.
Under Lula's administration, these values have grown, seeking to lift as many people out of poverty and extreme poverty as possible. According to the Ministry of Social Development, more than 3 million citizens have been lifted out of poverty this year.
Aiming to facilitate the withdrawal of Bolsa Família, the government offers the option of receiving it via the Caixa Tem app, launched in 2020 by Caixa Econômica Federal.
Originally created for Emergency Aid, the app still plays a crucial role in the payment of social benefits.
How to withdraw via Caixa Tem?
To withdraw money through the app, it is crucial to keep your data updated in the Single Registry (CadÚnico). The government recently carried out a review of all registered users. It is recommended to keep your information up to date.
Using the app, families can receive their benefits earlier, avoiding long waits in lines. This way, they can manage the benefit from the comfort of their own home.
Caixa Tem is available on the Play Store and App Store, and is free. Download it, link your account and carry out operations with Bolsa Família and other government benefits.
