The government assigns this amount to its income transfer program.
Actively administered by the Federal Government, the Bolsa Família Program confirmed the distribution of a revised amount. Thus, beneficiaries with a Social Identification Number (NIS) ending in 6 can access up to R$ 1,420 through Caixa Tem.

We must emphasize that the amount received through Caixa Tem depends directly on the family composition. Therefore, this relates to the number of members living under the same roof and sharing household income.
The amount in Caixa Tem increases according to the family composition.

The Ministry of Development and Social Assistance (MDS) actively established the amount of R$ 142 per person. Thus, a family of ten members can expect R$ 1,420 as the standard installment. It is crucial to recognize that this amount may increase if the family meets the program's additional criteria.
However, the recent guideline will not change the amount for smaller families. They will continue receiving the regular installment of R$ 600. Therefore, it is essential to stay alert to possible changes in the benefit.
Transactions and reductions in Bolsa Família
The banks that provided the Auxílio Brasil payroll-deducted loan still deduct R$ 160 from the regular installment. This measure affects families that took out this loan since October of the previous year. The banks say they will continue the deductions until the loan is fully paid off.
The Bolsa Família Protection Rule also applies discounts to the financial assistance. Under the rule, families whose income exceeded R$ 218 per member in 2023 will see a 50% reduction in the total amount. Thus, a family that previously received R$ 600 will now receive R$ 300 from the regular installment.
Safeguard Clause
It is vital to understand the details of the Contingency Rule. It applies only to those with a per capita income above R$ 218 and below R$ 660. Families exceeding the half-minimum-wage threshold will be promptly removed from the payment system.
