Who is entitled to the benefit
Bolsa Família is a cash transfer program aimed at families living in poverty and extreme poverty throughout Brazil. In order to receive the benefit, it is essential to meet the requirements and keep your registration up to date. But who can actually receive it?
Families with a monthly per capita income of up to R$ 218.00, registered with CadÚnico, have priority. Other criteria, such as the presence of pregnant women, children or adolescents up to the age of 17, can increase the chance of approval. Checking the status of your social benefit is essential to avoid losing installments and guarantee the release of the amounts.
Remember: the analysis is done automatically by the Federal Government, but you can and should check your CPF and registration status regularly. If there are any pending issues, regularize them immediately so you don't miss out on important installments.
How to check by CPF
One of the most practical ways to find out if you are entitled to Bolsa Família, FGTS or other social benefits is to do a quick CPF check. The process can be done online, without queues or bureaucracy, using official government platforms such as CadÚnico, Caixa Tem and the Gov.br portal.
To check the benefit by CPF, go to CadÚnico website and enter your details. The system will immediately show you if your registration is active, if any installments have been released, or if there are any pending registration updates.
Another option is to call 111 (Central da Caixa) or 121 (Ministério da Cidadania). Enter your CPF number and check to see if you have a benefit available for withdrawal. If you prefer, use the official app:
