Last year, the Federal Government began to pay installments of Auxílio Brasil, which is the program that replaced Bolsa Família. In this way, those families that are in poverty or extreme poverty receive the benefit, that is, that have a monthly income between R$ 105 and R$ 210 per person. If you want to register with Auxílio Brasil, see here the prerequisites and step by step.

Register with CadÚnico
The main criterion for receiving Auxílio Brasil is income, as already mentioned. However, the Government will use the Cadastro Único (CadÚnico) records to assess the monthly income of these families. Therefore, those who have the proper registration receive the benefit, so that those who do not have it also need to do it.
For those who don't know, enrollment in CadÚnico is done at a unit of the CRAS (Social Assistance Reference Center). If you intend to register, do not forget to take the documentation for all the people in your family to register. Also take documents that prove the family's income, such as paychecks, payment receipts and the like. However, it is necessary to understand that the simple registration in CadÚnico still does not guarantee that you will receive the benefit.
How to apply for Brazil Aid?
There is no direct channel to enroll in the program. Generally, at the Social Assistance Reference Center (Cras) it is possible to make a request to get the Brazil Aid.
However, there are other methods to apply, once you get the NIS number through CadÚnico. For example, you can call the Ministry of Citizenship, through the number 121, to get more details about the program.
Another way to track the request and approval is through the Caixa Econômica Federal Call Center, by calling 111. Finally, there is also the most practical method, which is digital. On your smartphone, you can download the Auxílio Brasil application and access it with your Caixa Tem password. Through the app, it will also be possible to track the status of the order.
