Bolsa Família Payments for August Begin This Tuesday

The Bolsa Família program, a government assistance program, has started making payments for August. The payments are made by the Caixa Econômica Federal and are deposited gradually, based on the last digit of the Número de Identificação Social (NIS) of each beneficiary.

The program guarantees a minimum payment of R$ 600 per registered family. Depending on the family structure, the total amount may be increased by additional amounts of R$ 50 or R$ 150, aimed at attending to the needs of children, adolescents, pregnant women, and breastfeeding mothers, following official criteria.

To identify the exact date of the release of the funds, the beneficiary must check the final digit of their NIS.

## Bolsa Família Payment Details

The Bolsa Família program ensures a minimum payment of R$ 600 per registered family. In addition to this base value, there are additional amounts that aim to meet the specific needs of beneficiaries:

| Additional Amount | Description | | --- | --- | | R$ 150 | per child up to 6 years old | | R$ 50 | per pregnant woman, child, or adolescent between 7 and 17 years old | | R$ 50 | per baby up to 6 months old |

These additional amounts are calculated based on the family composition and are intended to promote the well-being and healthy development of the most vulnerable members.

## Payment Schedule for August

The payment schedule for August is as follows, organized by the last digit of the NIS:

| NIS Final Digit | Payment Date | | --- | --- | | 1 | August 18 | | 2 | August 19 | | 3 | August 20 | | 4 | August 21 | | 5 | August 24 | | 6 | August 25 | | 7 | August 26 | | 8 | August 27 | | 9 | August 28 | | 0 | August 31 |

## Eligibility Criteria for Bolsa Família

To be eligible for Bolsa Família, it is necessary to meet some fundamental criteria. The main one is to have a monthly family income of up to R$ 218 per person. This value is calculated by adding up the total family income and dividing it by the number of members.

In addition, beneficiaries must comply with specific countermeasures, such as:

- Keeping children and adolescents enrolled and attending school; - Performing prenatal follow-up, in the case of pregnant women; - Keeping vaccination cards up to date for all family members.

## How the Bolsa Família Calculation Works

The minimum value of the Bolsa Família is R$ 600 per family. The program adds R$ 150 for each child up to 6 years old, R$ 50 for pregnant women, and R$ 50 for each child or adolescent between 7 and 17 years old, in addition to a R$ 50 additional amount for babies up to 6 months old.

For example, a family composed of two adults, a 4-year-old child, and a 15-year-old adolescent would receive: R$ 600 (basic floor) + R$ 150 (child up to 6 years) + R$ 50 (adolescent) = R$ 800.

## How to Check the Bolsa Família

To find out the payment date of the Bolsa Família, it is enough to check the last number of the NIS on the benefit card and consult the official calendar published by Caixa.

The consultation can be made through the official Bolsa Família app or the Caixa Tem app. Thus, each family can quickly confirm the value of the benefit and the date on which it will be available for withdrawal or movement.

If the value does not fall on the scheduled date, it is recommended to access the Bolsa Família app or visit the nearest Center for Reference Assistance (CRAS) to check possible registration pendences or blocks.
