For Bolsa Família beneficiaries, avoiding the benefit being blocked is crucial. Recently, the government announced new rules that may lead to the benefit being blocked or canceled if they are not complied with. Therefore, one of the main causes of blocking is outdated information in the Cadastro Único para Programas Sociais (CadÚnico).
Therefore, it is essential to keep the information always up to date, including changes in household composition, address, and income. Another common reason for blocking is the lack of justification for absence in elections, something that can easily be avoided by regularizing one’s electoral status.

In addition, court-ordered blocks in the name of the benefit holder, discrepancies in ownership, and issues with the Receita Federal, such as failing to submit the annual Income Tax return when required, may also result in suspension. Therefore, to avoid these problems, it is important for beneficiaries to pay attention to these details and act promptly to resolve any outstanding issues. That said, a useful tool is checking the CPF with the Receita Federal, which is available online and free of charge.
