The Federal Government recently announced the Bolsa Família payment schedule for July, incorporating the new payment table. Over time, the program has undergone several reforms, with the stated purpose of offering additional benefits to participants.
Nationwide, Bolsa Família stands out as Brazil’s most comprehensive income distribution program, assisting approximately 21 million people every month. To qualify, individuals must be in the low-income category and be registered with CadÚnico (the Federal Government’s Single Registry).

Below, we will present more details about the new Bolsa Família payment table and how to access the new amounts.
Federal Government unveils new Bolsa Família payment table
Since the beginning of 2023, a collaboration between the Federal Government and the Ministry of Social Development (MDS) established a payment of R$ 600 per family. This constitutes the minimum payment that all registered beneficiaries must receive from this year onward.

Despite this, over time, the program underwent other changes. In March, the MDS approved an additional R$ 150 for families with children up to 6 years old. Recently, a new bonus was established, with the purpose of ensuring a broader income for families.
From this point onward, new groups will be entitled to an additional R$ 50 in the monthly benefit. See who the beneficiaries are:
- Pregnant women;
- Breastfeeding women;
- Children aged 7 to 12;
- Adolescents aged 13 to 18 who have not yet turned 18.
It is worth noting, however, that the payment is cumulative. This means that a single family may receive several additional amounts, depending on its composition. For example, a family with a pregnant woman, a child up to 6 years old, and an adolescent up to 17 years old will receive a total of R$ 850, adding the minimum amount and the additional amounts for each member.
How can you ensure receipt of the additional amounts?
To ensure receipt of Bolsa Família and the additional amounts, it is essential to keep CadÚnico data up to date. Through this registration, the Federal Government is able to identify families entitled to the benefit.

Therefore, it is possible that a family entitled to the Bolsa Família bonus may still not receive the additional amounts. If this is your situation, the suggestion is to contact CRAS (Social Assistance and Reference Center) to update your registration details and begin receiving the full benefit.
All enrollees are required to update CadÚnico at two specific times:
- When there is any change in the family information, such as income, number of family members, address, telephone number, among others;
- Every two years, even when there are no changes to the family's information.
