Family Allowance

Bolsa Família is an income transfer program that benefits millions of Brazilian families living in poverty or extreme poverty.

The benefit value is currently R$600.00 for each family and has a additional R$150.00 per child. In addition, each family member aged 7 to 18, or pregnant woman receives an additional extra value of R$50.00.

Gas aid

In advance, gas assistance is a benefit intended for families registered in Cadúnico who use the gas cylinder as a source of energy for cooking. The aid aims to help cover the costs of cooking gas and ensure healthier food for families.

In this way, the beneficiary receives a voucher every two months to cover at least 50% of the value of the gas cylinder. Interested parties must first make a registration in CadÚnico to receive the benefit.

Discount on your Electricity Bill

Another important benefit is the Discount on the Electricity Bill, which offers a reduction in the electricity tariff for low-income families.

The discount can reach up to 65% of the bill amount and is granted from the Single Registry, a government platform that gathers information from low-income families and people in situations of social vulnerability.

Maternity allowance

Maternity Allowance is a benefit paid to women who take time off work to have children. The amount is equivalent to the mother's salary and is paid for a period of 120 days, ensuring financial stability during pregnancy and care for the baby.

However, to join the benefit, it is necessary to follow the following criteria established by the Federal Government:

• Workers with signed employment contracts;
• Individual contributors to the INSS;
• MEI;
• Unemployed;
• Rural workers and
• Domestic workers.

Single Registry

Finally, the Single Registry is a platform that gathers information about low-income families and people in situations of social vulnerability. The registry is used to access various social benefits, such as Bolsa Família, Discount on Electricity Bill and Maternity Allowance.

In short, one of the main objectives of government benefits is to maintain the integrity of Brazilian families and eliminate poverty through various humanitarian resources.
