Given this scenario, the Municipal Health Department (SMS) called on Bolsa Família beneficiaries to fulfill the health requirements as a condition for continuing to receive the benefit.
As of last Tuesday (30), only 96,156 beneficiaries (30.95%) had visited the centers to undergo the procedure, out of a total of 310,681. Approximately 70% of the target audience still need to undergo health monitoring in the capital.
Bolsa Família health monitoring
To avoid the suspension of Bolsa Família payments, beneficiary families must comply with the conditions of the social program, which include monitoring the health of family members. This involves:
- Nutritional monitoring (weight and height) for women between 14 and 44 years old;
- Prenatal care for pregnant women;
- Nutritional monitoring for children up to 7 years old;
- Updating the vaccination card.
All health posts in Salvador are receiving Bolsa Família beneficiaries to update their requirements until June 30, 2023, from Monday to Friday, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. It is necessary to present a photo ID, program card, children's vaccination cards, and the pregnant woman's booklet (in the case of pregnant women).
Other requirements
In addition to health-related matters, to maintain the Bolsa Família benefit, the beneficiary must comply with other conditions established by the social program, such as:
- Minimum school attendance of 60% for children aged 4 to 5;
- Minimum school attendance of 75% for children and young people between 6 and 18 years old, and for those who have not yet completed basic education.
