Who is eligible for Bolsa Família?

The Bolsa Família is aimed at families with low incomes, where the income per individual does not exceed R$ 218 per month. To determine eligibility, the earnings of all members must be added together and divided by the total number of members. If the amount is below R$ 218, the family may claim the benefit.

Let us consider a scenario: a single mother with three young children who works as a day laborer and earns R$ 800 per month. Dividing these R$ 800 among the four members results in R$ 200. Since R$ 200 is below R$ 218, this mother and her children are eligible for Bolsa Família.

What criteria does Bolsa Família require?

In addition to the defined income range, families that receive the Bolsa Família must meet certain conditions in the areas of health and education. These conditions include:

• Attend prenatal care appointments;
• Follow the national immunization schedule;
• Monitor the nutritional well-being of children under 7 years old;
• Ensure school attendance of at least 60% for children aged 4 to 5 and 75% for young people aged 6 to 18 who have not yet completed elementary education;
• Keep the Cadastro Único (CadÚnico) up to date, reviewing it at least every 24 months.

Meeting these criteria is vital for families to continue receiving the benefit.

How much does Bolsa Família pay?

The amount distributed by Bolsa Família varies according to the family's structure and each member's situation. According to the program's rules, each family member may claim an amount of R$ 142. Therefore, each household must receive at least R$ 600 per month.

There are also additional bonuses for certain groups. For example, the Ministry of Social Development (MDS) offers an extra R$ 150 for up to two children aged 0 to 6. There is also an additional R$ 50 for pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers, and young people aged 7 to 18.

It is possible to accumulate these additional bonuses. Thus, a family that meets all the categories mentioned can receive up to R$ 1,000 in total. It should be noted that the government is committed to adjusting these amounts every two years, at most.

To ensure the organization of the delivery of funds from Bolsa Família, the government publishes a calendar every month showing the payment dates for each group of beneficiaries. Below, we present the calendar for November and December:
