More people can be included in Auxílio Brasil, the social program created to replace Bolsa Família. Now that the payment of the benefit has started, the doubt of the families that have not yet received the money is whether they can be selected.

Another round of payments is scheduled for this month of December. But the amounts should only be paid to those who have already received the first installment, according to the federal government. Therefore, there is an expectation that more families will be included in January.
New chance for Brazil Aid
According to the federal government, for the time being, those who already received the former Bolsa Família receive the benefit. That is, new families should not be included for now. Despite this, the government has not given up trying to include more beneficiaries.
For the federal government, in January of next year another 2.4 million families can be included in the Auxílio Brasil program. In any case, not all interested families will get the benefit in this next round in January.
This whole scenario has left many Brazilians worried. Faced with unemployment and the lack of social security by the government, entire families may be left unassisted in 2022. The federal government's orientation is that those interested continue trying to be included in the program.
That's because, according to the government's forecast, month by month new families should be included in the program. Therefore, the orientation is that the families keep trying to get the benefit of the Brazil Aid.
In addition, those who fail to comply with the program requirements due to any social change may also be excluded from the program at each government review. Currently, the program pays R$400 to low-income Brazilian families.
