Bolsa Família: Complete Payment Schedule Starting This Week

Published on 16/10/2023 4 min read

Bolsa Família schedule for October

Therefore, to identify the payment date for your Bolsa Família, it is crucial to check the last digit of your Social Identification Number (NIS). This number categorizes everyone enrolled in the federal government's CadÚnico.

If the NIS ends in 1, for example, the payment will be made on the 18th. The remaining groups have subsequent dates. Below is the detailed Bolsa Família schedule for October:

Beneficiaries with NIS ending in 1: October 18 (Wednesday);
Beneficiaries with NIS ending in 2: October 19 (Thursday);
Beneficiaries with NIS ending in 3: September 20 (Friday);
Beneficiaries with NIS ending in 4: October 23 (Monday);
Beneficiaries with NIS ending in 5: October 24 (Tuesday);
Beneficiaries with NIS ending in 6: October 25 (Wednesday);
Beneficiaries with NIS ending in 7: October 26 (Thursday);
Beneficiaries with NIS ending in 8: October 27 (Friday);
Beneficiaries with NIS ending in 9: October 30 (Monday);
Beneficiaries with NIS ending in 0: October 31 (Tuesday).

Early payments

However, the Ministry of Social Development announced that not all beneficiaries will need to follow this schedule. In certain situations, they will make advance payments to those who theoretically need the funds more urgently.

This October, everyone enrolled in Bolsa Família in the cities most affected by the drought in Amazonas will be able to receive the benefit as early as Wednesday (18), regardless of the last digit of their NIS.

Check the updated list of cities and, in parentheses, the number of families benefiting.
