Government launches “Volta por Cima” program
In Rio Grande do Sul, the “Volta por Cima” program emerged after several areas suffered from heavy rains and flooding at the beginning of September. Thus, the program aims to provide financial assistance to families whose homes were damaged.
Depending on the extent of the damage, those affected may receive a government Pix payment. Those who had to leave their homes will receive R$ 2,500, while families whose properties suffered material damage will receive R$ 700 to help with repair expenses.
Who is eligible for the government Pix?
To be eligible for the government Pix, individuals must reside in one of the areas declared to be in a state of calamity or emergency, be registered with CadÚnico as poor or extremely poor, and have their information provided to the program by the local city government. Currently, several city governments are conducting assessments to determine the eligible beneficiaries.
Those interested in enrolling in the “Volta por Cima” program must go to the registration centers in their cities with the necessary documents in hand, including their CPF, Social Registration Card (NIS), and proof of residence.
There are expectations that a new decree will be issued soon, expanding the number of cities whose residents are eligible to receive the Pix from the government. This is a crucial step to ensure that financial assistance reaches everyone facing difficulties after the devastating weather events. So, check whether you are entitled to it and get your situation in order.
