The Bolsa Família retroactive payments direct funds that were pending to beneficiaries. The anticipation surrounding these new deposits increases the spirits of those receiving the benefit. The main objective is to provide more support to vulnerable families, combating inequality and poverty.
New family registrations are being processed, and retroactive payments are then released. For those who faced blockages due to problems with the Single Registry, funds may arrive this month. However, access to pending payments may take up to 90 days.
