A credit of R$1.5 thousand is expected in December! As the year comes to a close, many families are waiting for the traditional Christmas bonus destined for certain segments of the Brazilian population. This additional amount is intended to support workers and also boost the national economy.
In this context, rumors are circulating that, in December, the Executive Branch intends to release R$1,500 to several Brazilian citizens. It is believed that this Christmas bonus could be linked to the Bolsa Família program, indicating that more than 20 million people could receive this amount.

But will the Christmas bonus really be granted?
Information indicates that the Espírito Santo Executive intended to release this bonus to state employees, scheduled for December 12. However, when contacted, the state agency responsible for managing Human Resources denied this information.
This confusion may have its origins in the fact that last year the State actually gave a bonus of R$1,500 to its employees. At that time, more than 70,000 professionals benefited.
However, expectations indicate that the only disbursement to employees will be the remainder of the thirteenth salary, and not in the form of an “extra bonus”.
Will Bolsa Família have a Christmas bonus?
In parallel with the previous rumor, rumors emerged that Bolsa Família beneficiaries would also receive the aforementioned amount. However, it is important to emphasize that the assistance provided by this program is strictly welfare in nature.
Only those who receive benefits linked to Social Security are eligible for Bolsa Família. Although there are proposals in Congress to add a Christmas bonus to the social benefit, none of them have been approved so far. This means that, for 2023, Bolsa Família beneficiaries will not receive any bonus or thirteenth salary.
Other assistance also awaits the value
Similar questions arise about other government benefits, such as the BPC (Continuous Benefit Payment). Many expect a bonus or a thirteenth salary.
However, since it is also a welfare benefit, releasing this amount is not feasible. Furthermore, the current government does not have sufficient funds to implement this measure.
Therefore, we hope that it will soon be possible to extend the Christmas bonus and the thirteenth salary to other benefits outside the social security context.
