Bolsa Família Sets October Payouts for Oct. 20–31 by NIS Digit

Eligibility requires CadÚnico registration with per‑capita income up to R$218.

Overview

  • Deposits run from October 20 to 31 in ascending order of the last NIS digit, starting with NIS ending in 1 and ending with NIS ending in 0.
  • In October, eligible households also receive the gás subsidy, equal to 100% of the national average price of a 13 kg cylinder calculated by ANP over the last six months and paid bimonthly.
  • Families receive at least R$600 per month, with add‑ons such as R$150 for each child up to 6, R$50 for pregnant women and for dependents aged 7 to 18, and six R$50 installments under the Nutriz benefit for babies up to 6 months.
  • Entry is assessed via CadÚnico for families earning up to R$218 per person, with conditionalities on school attendance, vaccinations and prenatal care that can trigger temporary blocks if unmet.
  • Benefits can be moved through the Caixa Tem app and virtual card or withdrawn at ATMs, lottery outlets and Caixa Aqui correspondents; the next cycles are scheduled for November 14–28 and December 10–23.
