The new rules of the Bolsa Família program will appear in a provisional measure (MP) that will be signed by President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva this Thursday (2nd), in Brasília. The event is scheduled to start at 11 am at the Planalto Palace. In addition to resuming the requirements of counterparts, the program will have an extra value for larger families. One of these additions was a well-known Lula campaign promise and established an extra payment of R$150 per child up to 6 years of age, in addition to the R$600 already received per family. The novelty announced by the government is an additional one per family, worth R$ 50 for each dependent between 7 and 18 years old. The parameters of the social program return to the original model designed in Lula’s first government, in the 2000s. The main one is precisely the resumption of contributions from the beneficiary families, such as maintaining the children’s school attendance and updating the vaccination booklet. During the government of Jair Bolsonaro, the program was replaced by Auxílio Brasil, which did not require these counterparts. The program will also focus on updating the Single Registry and integration with the Single Social Assistance System (Suas), with an active search to include those outside the program and the review of benefits with evidence of irregularities. According to the Minister of Assistance and Social Development, Wellington Dias, there will be integration with 32 other government programs aimed at the quality of life of the population. The new values were guaranteed with the approval of the Proposed Amendment to the Constitution (PEC) of the Transition, which established that the new government will have R$ 145 billion in addition to the spending ceiling, of which R$ 70 billion will be used to fund the social benefit .
