Single Registry: Your gateway to Bolsa Família
First of all, it is crucial to understand that the Single Registry (CadÚnico) is the key to accessing Bolsa Família.
This system centralizes information about the less fortunate population, allowing access to various social programs and benefits. If you are seeking to join CadÚnico to receive Bolsa Família, it is vital to be aware of the income criteria.
Income criteria: Who is eligible?
A family interested in registering with CadÚnico to receive Bolsa Família must have a monthly income of up to half the minimum wage per member, equivalent to R$ 660.00, or a total family income of up to three minimum wages, corresponding to R$ 3,960.00.
Step-by-step guide to online registration
If your family meets the income criteria mentioned, you can start the online registration for Bolsa Família.
Access the Cadastro Único (CadÚnico) platform or app
In 2022, the Federal Government made the Cadastro Único website and app available, simplifying several services, such as pre-registration for the Benefit. Thus, the process can begin digitally through these tools.
Start the pre-registration
You can take the first step online. However, it is worth mentioning that, even after this digital stage, you must go in person to the Social Assistance Reference Center (CRAS) in your area to complete the registration.
Select the head of the family
When completing the online pre-registration, it is essential to designate a family member over 16 years old to provide the information. Women are commonly preferred for this role.
Required documents
The family representative must have their CPF or Voter Registration Card on hand. It is worth noting that, for leaders of Indigenous and Quilombola families, other documents may be valid, making the use of a CPF or Voter Registration Card unnecessary. In addition, it is crucial to have at least one of the documents listed below for all family members in order to update the registration:
- Birth Certificate;
- Marriage Certificate;
- CPF;
- Identity Card (RG);
- Administrative Birth Certificate of the Indigenous Person (RANI);
- Work Card;
- Voter Registration Card;
- Proof of residence.
In fact, enrollment in Bolsa Família has become more convenient with the option of pre-registration online. Therefore, always keep your information up to date.
