Especially to the classes that need fuel as an essential element for their work. In this case, taxi drivers suffered a lot during the period.
In this way, Constitutional Amendment No. 123 of July 14, 2022 brought some relief, approving the Taxi driver assistance.

Until when will the taxi assistance last?

Who is entitled to assistance?
In principle, the professionals who are entitled to benefits from the federal government are taxi drivers registered by the city hall.
This registration, however, must have been done by the deadline, that is, May 31, 2022. However, only professionals holding the concession will be able to receive it.
This information is important because some taxi drivers “rent” their concessions. In this way, only holders will be entitled to the benefit.
In some cities, there are permits, licenses, as well as authorizations that regulate the work of taxi drivers.
Therefore, you will be entitled to taxi driver assistance only professionals who appear in the city hall records as the holders of these concessions.
Another factor that directly influences the receipt of assistance is that the professional must be in full professional capacity. Furthermore, your driver's license and CPF must be without any restrictions.
Who cannot receive assistance?
Firstly, people who have pending issues with their CPF will have difficulty receiving the taxi driver assistance.
Another factor that will cause complications for receipt is if the professional turns 18 after May 31, 2022.
If the professional receives benefits due to permanent incapacity, that is, if he was retired due to “disability”, he will not receive the aid.
What does the taxi driver need to do to receive the aid?
Taxi drivers do not need to register in any way to be entitled to the benefit. City halls will forward the data to the government.
This way, if you are a taxi driver registered with your city's city hall, your benefit is assured.
To move the amount is very simple, payment is made by Caixa Econômica Federal. And Caixa Tem will be the means for professionals to operate the account.
