First of all, it is important to understand that the distribution of these payments, for the most part, is done through the Single Registry (CadÚnico).

Requirements for registering with CadÚnico

- Have a monthly income of up to half a minimum wage per individual in the family nucleus;
- The head of the household must preferably be a woman and present a CPF or Voter Registration Card;
