Families with a monthly income of up to R$ 218.00 per person can apply for the benefit. Income is calculated by adding up all income and dividing by the number of people in the family group. In addition, families already included in other social benefits, such as Vale Gás or the Continuous Cash Benefit (BPC/INSS), can accumulate payments, as long as they meet the requirements.

Other important points are the regular updating of the CadÚnico register and compliance with conditionalities, such as keeping children in school and health monitoring. If these conditions are not met, the payment can be blocked or canceled.
