December brings positive expectations for Brazilian families benefiting from Bolsa Família, especially single mothers. Thus, the program, known for its important role in combating poverty, begins its new payment schedule. This comes with a new development: the possibility of a bonus for single mothers.
This measure could significantly strengthen support for one of the most vulnerable groups in society, ensuring greater financial security for mothers raising their children alone. Therefore, the government program, serving 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 the benefit results from additional programs integrated into Bolsa Família, designed to meet the specific needs of certain family groups. Updating the registration in CadÚnico is essential for families to be eligible to receive these extra benefits.

The importance of updating CadÚnico
To ensure access to additional Bolsa Família benefits, families must keep their data updated in the Cadastro Único para Programas Sociais do Governo Federal (CadÚnico). This update is crucial so that the government can identify the beneficiaries of additional payments, ensuring that the aid reaches those who truly need it.
List of extra Bolsa Família benefits
Various additional benefits are available to families enrolled in Bolsa Família. Among them are the Benefício Variável Familiar Nutriz, which adds R$ 50 to the payment for each family member up to six months old, and the Benefício de Renda de Cidadania, which provides an additional R$ 142 per person in the family. In addition, the Benefício Complementar ensures that the minimum Bolsa Família payment is R$ 600. There is also the Benefício Primeira Infância, which provides an additional R$ 150 per child up to seven years old in the family. Families are also entitled to the Vale Gás, which is paid every two months and, in December, will be R$ 110, covering the average cost of a 13 kg gas cylinder.
