Bolsa Família news for October
One of the big news this month is that families who suffered from adverse weather conditions were able to access the benefit earlier. In other words, all beneficiaries received the payment on the 18th, regardless of their NIS number.
Those who were able to receive the benefit were families from the Amazon region, who suffered from the drought. In addition, the south of the country, which suffered from a cyclone, was also entitled to the benefit in advance.
