Reduced value of Bolsa Família: Check the value!

Adverts

Reduced value of Bolsa Família? Several individuals who benefit from the Bolsa Família program have access to aid that includes the base amount plus supplements. 

However, this reality does not cover all participants in the assistance program. As an example, in the month of July, around 2.2 million families received an average of R$ 378.91 as assistance.

However, understanding the reasons behind the decline is not a complex task. See more details below!

These recipients were included in the Protection Rule category. According to this measure implemented since June, households whose members have obtained employment are now eligible for only 50% of the Bolsa Família benefit, instead of the full amount.

In the month of July, for example, the average amount granted by the Bolsa Família program was less than R$ 400. Find out about the possibility of a reduction in aid for the month of August!

It is essential to understand that, in most situations, decreases and impediments occur when beneficiaries do not observe the necessary precautions (check ten recommended precautions). 

However, in the scenario of employees with a formal contract who are also covered by the Bolsa Família program, the Federal Government seeks to provide assistance for a period of up to two years.

To check whether it complies with the rules, the family unit provider must consider both the number of individuals in the group and the restriction that the monthly income does not exceed R$ 660 (equivalent to half the minimum wage). Consider the following example:

Imagine a household made up of 5 people. Among them, two are registered employees, which brings their monthly income to R$ 2,640. 

When dividing this amount by the number of members (5), the amount per person totals R$ 528. In this way, the family meets the established criteria.
