December brings positive expectations for Brazilian families receiving Bolsa Família benefits, especially single mothers. Thus, the program, known for its important role in combating poverty, begins its new payment schedule. This includes a new feature: the possibility of a bonus for single mothers.
This measure can significantly strengthen support for one of the most vulnerable groups in society, ensuring greater financial security for single mothers. Therefore, the government program, which serves around 21 million families, has already established a minimum amount of R$$ 600 per family.
However, for single mothers, the amount may be even higher. This increase in benefits is the result of additional programs integrated into Bolsa Família, designed to meet the specific needs of certain family groups. Updating the CadÚnico registry is essential for families to be eligible to receive these additional benefits.

The importance of updating CadÚnico
To ensure access to additional Bolsa Família benefits, families must keep their data updated in the Single Registry for Social Programs of the Federal Government (CadÚnico). This update is crucial for the government to identify the beneficiaries of the additional payments, ensuring that the aid reaches those who really need it.

Several additional benefits are available to families registered with Bolsa Família. Among them, the Variable Family Nursing Benefit stands out, which adds R$ 50 to the payment for each family member up to six months of age, and the Citizenship Income Benefit, which provides an additional R$ 142 per person in the family. In addition, the Supplementary Benefit ensures that the minimum Bolsa Família payment is R$ 600. There is also the Early Childhood Benefit, which offers an additional R$ 150 per child up to seven years old in the family. Families are also entitled to the Gas Voucher, which is paid every two months and, in December, the benefit will be R$ 110, covering the average cost of a 13 kg gas cylinder.
