What could change in Bolsa Família in 2024?
There are currently discussions about a proposal to adjust the income limit for Bolsa Família in 2024. However, as indicated in the Budget for that year, there is no provision for an increase in the amount of the benefit. Despite this, there is a prospect of including more families in the program throughout the year.
The Minister of Development and Social Assistance, Family and Fight Against Hunger, Wellington Dias, emphasized the importance of keeping registration information up to date to ensure continued entitlement to the benefit. Therefore, it is advisable to remain attentive to the Single Registry (CadÚnico) and make updates when necessary.
