Briefings

The Brazilian government paid October Bolsa Família benefits to 19.3 million families with NIS ending in 2, averaging R$ 782.92 per family. Due to climate change, payments were concentrated in three days instead of the usual ten. The payment amount increased from R$ 13 billion in September to R$ 15 billion in October. Families with NIS ending in 1 received payments on October 19, while those ending in 2 received them on October 20. Additional benefits include nutritional support for infants, allowances for pregnant women and children aged 7-18, and a protection rule for employed family members. The Seguro Defeso discount was removed for all beneficiaries starting June 2024.

Key points

• 19.3 million families received October Bolsa Família payments with an average value of R$ 782.92 per family.
