Bolsa Família represents Brazil’s main social assistance program, reaching millions of low-income families each month. In September, the government spent approximately R$ 14.6 billion, directing these resources to 21.47 million families throughout the country.
Many of these families choose to check the Benefit, a crucial step for tracking payments and accessing other relevant information. They can perform this check using either their CPF or NIS.
