What is Brazil Aid?

In early November, President Jair Bolsonaro signed the decree that regulated the Auxílio Brasil program in order to replace the Bolsa Família income distribution program, created in 2003. The measure is a way of increasing the president's popularity, which has been decreasing to the 2022 elections.

The payment in the amount of R$ 400 already has an end date. This is because Auxilio Brasil will only last for one year, scheduled until December 2022. For the benefit, around R$ 9.3 million of the budget allocated to Bolsa Família were allocated.

The payment of the amount of R$ 400 follows the schedule established by Caixa Econômica Federal, which takes into account the beneficiary's final NIS number. It is worth remembering that those families that received less than R$ 400 in November will not have an increase in the value of December.

However, despite the benefit being intended to replace Bolsa-Família, created during the Workers' Party (PT) government, Auxílio Brasil uses the records of people enrolled in the old program.

Who is entitled to the Brazil Aid?

This is a question that can confuse most people's minds. After all, such an important change can greatly influence the income of thousands of Brazilians.

Therefore, to resolve all doubts: the new aid will be paid to families with a per capita family income of up to R$ 100.00. These families fit into a situation of extreme poverty.

Families in poverty, that is, who receive up to R$ 200 will also receive the aid. However, the condition for receiving the benefit is that families must have, among their members, pregnant women or people under 21 years of age.

How to receive Assistance Brazil?

There are three ways to receive assistance. Therefore, it is time to pay attention to the rules so as not to lose the benefit:

1. If the person is already registered in Bolsa-Família, the Brazil Aid is paid automatically. Therefore, there is no need to register.
2. If the citizen has a Single Registry (CadÚnico), but is not a Bolsa Família beneficiary, he/she joins a waiting list. This list takes into account several factors, such as, for example, families with greater social vulnerability. They are: families with people in child labor; quilombolas; indigenous groups; families with components freed from a situation analogous to slave labor; collectors of recyclable materials, among other categories.

After assisting vulnerable people, families with lower per capita income will be identified. The Ministry of Citizenship will also take into account the municipalities with the highest poverty rates.

3. If the person does not have the CadÚnico, it is necessary that they seek a Social Assistance Reference Center (CRAS) or the City Hall of their municipality to carry out the registration. It is worth remembering that, in this case, there are no guarantees of receiving the aid.

According to the Ministry of Citizenship, Aid Brazil will not be immediately granted, even if the person is registered in the Cadastro Único. However, the responsible body stated that, month by month, new people can be entered.
