Bolsa Família is a crucial social assistance program for millions of Brazilians, offering financial support to families living in poverty and extreme poverty. With social policies constantly evolving, it is important to be up to date on the current value of the benefit. For single-person families, that is, those made up of only one person, the minimum guaranteed benefit amount is R$$ 600.
This amount is part of an ongoing government effort to combat inequality and promote social welfare. To access these benefits, requirements include being registered with the Single Registry for Federal Government Social Programs (CadÚnico) and have a monthly family per capita income limited to R$ 218.

Requirements and access to Bolsa Família
To ensure access to Bolsa Família, it is essential that beneficiaries keep their data updated in CadÚnico, especially if there are changes in family composition or financial situation. A regulation issued in August 2023 established that single-person family registrations may represent a maximum of 16% of the total number of Bolsa Família registrants in each municipality.
To clarify doubts or make inquiries about the program, beneficiaries can contact the call center of the Ministry of Social Development, which is responsible for managing Bolsa Família, by dialing 121. In addition, information about the card and withdrawals of the benefit is available at Caixa Econômica Federal or through the Caixa Tem app.
Payment schedule and financial organization
Bolsa Família plays a fundamental role in reducing poverty and promoting social equality in Brazil. With the updated amount and clear requirements, beneficiaries can be better prepared to receive the benefit installments. Therefore, beneficiaries must pay attention to the payment schedule. This is because it is released monthly and varies according to the beneficiary's Social Security Number (NIS).
The specific payment dates are to ensure an organized and efficient distribution of the benefit. Therefore, the benefit continues to be a vital tool for supporting Brazilian families, thus helping to mitigate the effects of poverty and promote a more just and equal society.
