Caixa Econômica will finalize the May Bolsa Família payments for all groups of beneficiaries next week. The calendar for the month of May continues with payments from the 18th until the 31st, when the benefit is paid to the last group of beneficiaries.

As half of the payments have already been made, beneficiaries are already keeping an eye on the next installments of Bolsa Família (which fall in June). Next month, the program promises news for families related to the value of installments with the launch of a new additional benefit.

The 21.25 million families registered with Bolsa Família can expect an increase in the value of the benefit from June. The MDS (Ministry of Development) is finalizing the implementation of the New Bolsa Família this May.

The announcement of the reformulation took place in March, but so far there are details that are still on paper. Therefore, the new features are expected to begin with payments in June and could increase the amount received monthly for most of the program's beneficiaries.

In practice, the Government intends to reformulate the way the benefit is calculated according to the number of people. Today, all beneficiaries receive the minimum Bolsa Família amount of R$ 600 per month, regardless of whether the family is made up of 5 people or is single-person (made up of just one person).

From the Government's perspective, the new payment format will bring “equity and social justice” to the program with the creation of a benefit worth R$ 142 per person. Thus, the more people who are part of the family group, the higher the value of the installment.

“From June onwards, we will have more benefits coming into the lives of these families, such as R$ 50 for children aged seven and teenagers up to 18 years old and for pregnant women and the benefit paid to each person, in the amount of R$ 142. The Bolsa Family is returning with much more social justice for Brazilians“, explained Eliane Aquino, national secretary of Income and Citizenship.

Even with the May payment calendar still being carried out, the Bolsa Família payment dates for June are now available. The complete Bolsa Família calendar for 2023 was released at the beginning of this year and shows the benefit dates from January to December.

The Government will continue to release the amounts in the last 10 working days of each month, as was done in previous months. In the month of June, Bolsa Família payments begin on the 19th for beneficiaries with final NIS 1 and continue until the 30th, paying the last group of beneficiaries and finalizing the calendar.

However, families must wait for at least 2 weeks until the June payment consultation is available. Caixa, together with Dataprev, finalizes the Bolsa Família payroll by the 10th of each month, from this date onwards, the amount of the installment is released for consultation on the program channels.

Before that, the institution begins to gradually release some information, such as the basic value of the benefit, but the new additional amounts will only be released on the statement after the entire payroll has been processed.
