Everyone must follow the program guidelines. Currently, the renewed Bolsa Família benefits more than 20 million families experiencing social vulnerability. They registered with the Cadastro Único (CadÚnico) to receive the assistance. However, it is essential to follow a set of guidelines to ensure the continuation of this support for families.
Complying with the program rules becomes vital, since the Ministry of Social Development, Family and the Fight Against Hunger, responsible for the program, conducts monthly checks of the records. They carry out this analysis to ensure compliance with these requirements. If a family does not meet the requirements, the program may exclude it from payments, permanently halting the transfers.
Therefore, adhering to the program's standards and criteria is essential to ensure the continuity of the assistance. This includes following registration procedures, remaining within the established income limits, and regularly updating registration information. By complying with these rules, families have the opportunity to maintain financial support through Bolsa Família.

In August, a specific criterion led to several families being blocked from or even removed from the new Bolsa Família program. This criterion concerns young people’s enrollment and school attendance. According to the program’s rules, all minors between the ages of seven and eighteen must be actively enrolled in school for the household to continue receiving the monthly assistance.
It is worth emphasizing that the government can verify, using the Ministry of Education’s database, whether these young people regularly attend classes. The program requires children aged four to six to have at least 60% attendance in classes to maintain the benefit. Meanwhile, for young people aged seven to eighteen, the minimum attendance rate is 75%.
For example, in the city of Ibaté, São Paulo, 143 families were alerted in August about the importance of visiting the local Social Assistance Reference Center (CRAS). They sought to understand the reasons for the young people’s significant absences. This action aims to prevent payments from being interrupted.
It is worth noting that this situation occurs in all Brazilian cities during the month of August. Bolsa Família beneficiaries called in to provide clarification must present proof, such as medical certificates, to justify students' absences. Therefore, it is essential to pay attention to communications from the program's app and follow the instructions to avoid complications with the benefit.
