How to apply for the new Bolsa Família Card?
One of the great advantages of the new Bolsa Família Card is that beneficiaries do not need to go through any procedure to obtain it. The Federal Government will send the card to the address registered in the Cadastro Único.
However, it is important that beneficiaries keep their data updated in the Single Registry, informing any change of address or contact. In this way, it will be ensured that the new card is sent to the correct address, allowing families to enjoy the benefits of the new function.
While waiting for the delivery of the new Bolsa Família Card, the previous version of the Auxílio Brasil will remain in effect, with no changes for withdrawing the benefit. It is essential that beneficiaries use the card conscientiously and follow the program's guidelines to prevent fraud and ensure the availability of the services offered.
Among the novelties of the new card, the following stand out:
- security chip
- Link to a Caixa digital savings account
- Benefits of Savings
- Easily check your balance
- Wide acceptance in trade and service establishments
About Bolsa Família
Bolsa Família is an income transfer program created by the Brazilian government in 2003, during the administration of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. It was the result of the merger of other existing social programs, such as Bolsa Escola, Auxílio Gás and Bolsa Comida.
The main objective of Bolsa Família is to combat poverty and social inequality, offering monthly financial assistance to families in situations of economic vulnerability. The program seeks to promote access to education, health and social assistance, encouraging school attendance by children, medical follow-up and participation in social inclusion programs.
Bolsa Família uses income and vulnerability criteria to select beneficiary families. The amount of the aid varies according to family composition and per capita income. In addition, the program also establishes conditionalities, such as the enrollment and school attendance of children and the performance of health examinations.
Since its creation, Bolsa Família has been an important tool for reducing poverty and inequality in Brazil. The program is internationally recognized as a benchmark in income transfer policies and has already benefited millions of families across the country.
