Thus, the text is a complement to Law 13982/20, which mandated the payment of the benefit in April of last year, in addition to the requirements for registering and receiving the amount.
Authored by Sidney Leite (PSD-AM), who mentioned that the impact of emergency aid on the Brazilian economy was approximately 2.5 times the country's GDP in 2019.
According to him, the effect was even more impactful in the North and Northeast regions, where the benefit represents 4.8% and 6.5% of the regions' GDP, respectively.
According to the congressman, speaking to the Chamber of Deputies News Agency, the aid has a very important impact, since it is a multiplier effect. After all, it is an income transfer program for Brazilians, without any requirement for reciprocity that could hinder the distribution and delivery of the funds to those who need them.
He also mentioned that the payment of the aid brought benefits to all economic areas, at a time when several activities were paralyzed due to the coronavirus, thus stimulating market growth by putting money in the hands of the population.
Requirements for receiving emergency aid.
The bill proposed by Sidney Leite includes some requirements for receiving emergency aid, among them that the municipality where the beneficiary lives must have implemented measures restricting commerce and movement, thereby interrupting income-generating activities.
Furthermore, the benefit will be intended for informal workers and low-income populations, categories previously covered by emergency aid.
