Since the beginning of the year, the social program has been renamed Bolsa Família. The minimum amount of BRL 600 was guaranteed after the approval of the Constitutional Amendment of the Transition, which allowed the use of up to BRL 145 billion outside the spending ceiling this year, of which BRL 70 billion is destined to fund the benefit. The payment of the additional BRL 150 began in March, after a fine-tooth comb in the Single Registry for Social Programs of the Federal Government (CadÚnico), in order to eliminate fraud. In June, the payment of an additional R$ 50 per pregnant woman, child aged 7 to 12 and adolescent aged 12 to 18 will begin. In the traditional Bolsa Família model, payment takes place in the last ten business days of each month. The beneficiary will be able to consult information about payment dates, the amount of the benefit and the composition of the installments in the Caixa Tem application, used to monitor the bank’s digital savings accounts.
