Bolsa Família and Auxílio Brasil are fundamental social benefits for millions of Brazilians who seek direct financial assistance from the federal government. If you want to know if you are entitled, check the amounts released, access the official calendar or understand how to withdraw, here you will find up-to-date and objective guidance.
Find out how to make your quick and up-to-date CPF query, check the deadlines and rules, and guarantee access to the social benefit in a simple and safe way.
Who is entitled to the benefit
Bolsa Família, officially resumed in March 2023 in place of Auxílio Brasil, is aimed at families in poverty and extreme poverty who are registered with the Federal Government's Single Registry (CadÚnico). To be eligible, the family's per capita income must be up to R$ 218 per month. Families with children, pregnant women, nursing mothers and teenagers have priority, especially to receive additional benefits such as the Gas Voucher and extra installments.
Important: only those who keep their data up to date in the CadÚnico can receive the payment. Selection is automatic, but the recommendation is always to check your CPF to verify eligibility periodically. If your family meets the criteria, don't waste time: check your CadÚnico here and see if you're fit.

| Benefits | Main requirement | Who can receive |

It is essential to know the requirements of each social benefit, as each program has its own rules and payment schedules. See how to apply for Bolsa Família on Gov.br.
