Caixa Econômica Federal continues to make payments for the October installment of Bolsa Família to numerous beneficiaries across Brazil. This Tuesday (24), a new group from the country's main income transfer program will receive the benefit amount.
Payments began on the 18th and will continue until the end of October. Basically, Caixa makes deposits on the last 10 business days of the month, following the last digit of the holders' Social Identification Number (NIS). Therefore, each business day, a different group has the benefit deposited into their accounts.

In essence, the NIS helps the Federal Government identify citizens who benefit from social programs. Therefore, it is crucial to keep documentation up to date and avoid the suspension of Bolsa Família.
Caixa will still make five more payments this month. Families included in these groups need to stay informed to ensure access to the benefit as soon as it becomes available.
How much does Bolsa Família pay?
In summary, families in Bolsa Família have varied profiles, considering the number and age of their children, among other factors. Thus, each beneficiary receives a specific Bolsa Família amount.
Indeed, several benefits make up the program, determining the amount for each beneficiary. The government seeks to meet all specific needs, ensuring everyone's inclusion.
Additionally, it is possible to accumulate benefits, provided that the rules for each one are met. See the Bolsa Família benefits for October:
1- Citizenship Income Benefit
This guarantees R$ 142 per family member registered with CadÚnico. Therefore, the total benefit is multiplied by the number of people in the family.
For example, a family of five members receives R$ 710 per month (R$ 142 x 5 = R$ 710). If there are ten, the amount reaches R$ 1,420 (R$ 142 x 10 = R$ 1,420). This indicates that Bolsa Família can exceed the current minimum wage (R$ 1,320).
2- Complementary Benefit
Considering the Citizenship Income Benefit, families with only one member would receive just R$ 142 per month. However, the government established the Bolsa Família minimum at R$ 600.

To ensure this minimum for everyone, the government supplements the benefit for families of up to four members, who, without the supplement, would receive a maximum of R$ 568 per month.
3- Early Childhood Benefit
Since March 2023, the government has paid R$ 150 for each child up to six years old. Thus, families with children under seven years old receive this additional amount.
4- Bolsa Família: Family Variable Benefit
The government provides an additional R$ 50 for children and young people aged seven to 18, pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers in the family.
5- Variable Family Nursing Benefit
Since September, there has been an additional R$ 50 for families with babies up to seven months old. This benefit aims to improve care for newborns.

6- Extraordinary Transition Benefit
The goal is for no one to receive less than the amount provided by the previous program (Auxílio Brasil).
Finally, all benefits are deposited on the same date as Bolsa Família. Therefore, those entitled to multiple benefits will receive the amounts according to the calendar of the main assistance program.
7- Gas Aid
In addition to the benefits mentioned, Auxílio Gás resumed in October after being suspended the previous month. More than 5.5 million people will receive this aid, enabling many families to receive well over R$ 600.
It is important to emphasize that all these benefits are deposited on the same date as Bolsa Família. Therefore, those entitled to them will receive the amounts according to the calendar of the country's main assistance program.
