Caixa Econômica Federal pays today (20) the December installment of Auxílio Brasil to beneficiaries with a Social Registration Number (NIS) ending in 7. This is the fifth installment with a minimum amount of R$ 600, which will remain in effect until December, as constitutional amendment enacted in July by the National Congress. Unless a new proposal for an amendment to the Constitution (PEC) is approved, the minimum value of the Auxílio Brasil will return to R$ 400 in January. On the 7th, the Senate approved the Proposed Amendment to the Constitution (PEC) of the Transition, which provides for the exclusion of R$ 145 billion from the federal spending ceiling for the next two years, which would allow the maintenance of the value at R$ 600 and the payment of an extra R$ 150 to families with children up to 6 years old. The program would once again be called Bolsa Família. The constitutional amendment approved in July released the inclusion of 2.2 million families in the Auxílio Brasil program. As a result, the total number of beneficiaries served by the program rose to 20.2 million in this semester as of this month. Traditionally, the dates of the Auxílio Brasil follow the Bolsa Família model, which paid beneficiaries in the last ten working days of the month. Auxílio Brasil, developed for the social program, and the Caixa Tem app, used to track the bank’s digital savings accounts. Gas Allowance The Gas Allowance will also be paid today to families registered in the Single Registry for Social Programs of the Federal Government (CadÚnico), with final NIS 7. With a value of R$ 112 this month, the benefit follows the schedule of the Auxílio Brasil. Expected to last for five years, the program will benefit 5.5 million families by the end of 2026. The benefit, which was equivalent to 50% of the average price of a 13-kilogram cylinder over the last six months, began August, the value of 100% of the average price, which was equivalent to R$ 112 in October. This increase will remain in effect until December, as per the constitutional amendment enacted by Congress, unless the Transition PEC is approved. Paid every two months, Auxílio Gás originally had a budget of R$1.9 billion for this year, but the amount rose to R$2.95 billion after the enactment of the constitutional amendment in July. Only those who are included in the CadÚnico and have at least one family member who receives the Benefit of Continuous Provision (BPC) can be part of the program. The law that created the program defined that the woman responsible for the family will have preference, as well as women victims of domestic violence. Basic benefits The Auxílio Brasil has three basic benefits and six supplementary ones, which can be added if the beneficiary gets a job or has a child who excels in sports competitions or in scientific and academic competitions. Families with per capita income of up to R$ 100, considered in extreme poverty, and those with per capita income of up to R$ 200, considered in poverty, can receive extra benefits. Agência Brasil has prepared a guide with questions and answers about Auxílio Brasil. Among the doubts that the beneficiary can resolve are the criteria for joining the social program, the nine different types of benefits and what happened to Bolsa Família and emergency aid, which were in effect until October last year.
