The origin of the commotion: the video in question
A video widely circulated on social media shows Vice President Geraldo Alckmin declaring the end of Bolsa Família. However, an analysis of the full interview reveals that this statement was distorted.
In that interview, given in November 2022 during the governmental transition, Alckmin discussed the proposal approved by the National Congress to exclude Bolsa Família from the spending cap. He emphasized that the proposal aims to ensure the program’s sustainability in the long term.
Thus, it is essential to note that the vice president did not declare the end of the program, but rather its exemption from the spending cap, freeing up more resources for the program as of 2024.
Payment schedule for October
Before delving deeper into the issue, it is worth mentioning the Bolsa Família payment schedule for October. As usual, payment scheduling follows the last digit of the beneficiary’s Social Identification Number (NIS).
| Final NIS digit | Payment date |

| 1 | 18/10/2023 |

| 3 | 20/10/2023 |
| 4 | 21/10/2023 |

Understanding the spending cap exemption
Revisiting the discussion about the alleged termination of Bolsa Família in 2024, it is vital to understand the context in which it arose. The suggestion to exclude the program from the spending cap emerged during the governmental transition, with the aim of ensuring its perpetuity.
The proposal, approved by the National Congress in December 2022, allows the current government to allocate more resources to the program, meeting the needs of the most vulnerable during a period of economic recovery after the pandemic.
The New Fiscal Framework and the future of Bolsa Família
In August 2023, the spending cap gave way to the New Fiscal Framework, establishing new criteria for managing public spending. This framework, represented by Complementary Bill (PLP) 93/2023, proposes more effective budget management.

In summary, after evaluating all the information, it is evident that the rumor about the end of Bolsa Família in 2024 is unfounded. The video that caused confusion was misinterpreted, and Geraldo Alckmin never announced the end of the program.
With the exemption from the spending cap and the new fiscal framework, the government reaffirms its commitment to the Benefit. Thus, beneficiaries can rest assured that the program will continue, strengthening social inclusion and combating poverty in Brazil. It is always advisable to seek information from reliable sources and not be influenced by unfounded or distorted news.
