How Bolsa Família works
Bolsa Família is a direct income transfer program that was created in October 2003.
It helps families in situations of poverty and extreme poverty throughout Brazil.
Thanks to this benefit, thousands of people in our country are able to have the right to food and access to education and healthcare.
Families within the following income limit can be part of the program:
- Families that have a monthly income of up to R$ 89.00 per person (considered extremely poor);
- Families that have a monthly income between R$ 89.01 and R$ 178.00 per person (considered poor).
However, poor families participate in the program as long as they have pregnant women and children or adolescents between 0 and 17 years old among their members.
The amount of aid is determined according to family composition.
Families who wish to enroll in the program must go to the Social Assistance Reference Center (CRAS) in their municipality.
It is necessary to register with the Single Registry for Social Programs of the Federal Government (CadÚnico) to go through the selection process.
Those approved by the Ministry of Citizenship are included in the program and begin to receive aid.
