GREAT NEWS for Brazilians is confirmed by Caixa Tem
If you are part of Bolsa Família, you have certainly noticed that the program has undergone some changes recently. Among the changes, it is worth highlighting the benefits whose payments vary according to the beneficiary’s family composition.

The purpose of these benefits is to ensure a fairer and more equitable distribution of income. As a result, larger families, for example, receive a higher subsidy. In addition, the age of each family member directly impacts the amount transferred to the beneficiaries’ Caixa Tem account.
- Families with children and adolescents aged 7 to 18 receive an additional R$ 50 per child;
- Families with pregnant women also receive an additional R$ 50 per pregnant woman.
Therefore, the number of members in certain age groups or with specific conditions in your household will cause the amounts paid monthly to vary according to these factors.
For example, let’s consider a family where the mother is pregnant and has one 7-year-old child and another who is 10. In this situation, the mother will receive an extra payment of R$ 150 every month, in addition to the R$ 600 already established.
After the baby is born, the woman will also receive the monthly additional amount of R$ 150 for children under 6 years old, which is the Early Childhood Benefit. However, she will stop receiving the R$ 50 benefit for pregnant women.
How to request an increase in the Benefit?
Upon understanding that meeting the criteria above may allow you to receive higher amounts in the payment made through Caixa Tem, the question arises of how to secure this benefit. In fact, the answer is simple: just keep your CadÚnico registration up to date.
By keeping this registration updated with all your family members’ information, such as age and income, you increase your chances of receiving what you are entitled to.

In the case of pregnant women, to ensure the monthly increase, they must keep their prenatal care up to date. To do so, simply visit a Basic Health Unit in your neighborhood and begin monitoring. This way, healthcare professionals update your registration, and you begin receiving the additional R$ 50 monthly.
Remember, if you discontinue prenatal care, the payment will also be discontinued. Therefore, continue with the appointments to safeguard your health and your benefit.
