In short, the provisional measure that established the 13th salary only for the Bolsa Família program and for the year 2019 was issued by President Jair Bolsonaro.
According to Randolfe Rodrigues, the 13th payment for the 2020 Bolsa Família will be annual and made throughout the month of December.
However, this proposal still needs to be reviewed by the House of Representatives and the Senate by March 24. If this review does not take place, this provisional measure will lose its validity, including the amendments approved by the Congressional committee.

Firstly, the senator had already removed the Bolsa Família adjustment from the proposal, in this current text Rodrigues also changed the source of funding that is intended for the payment of the 13th Bolsa Família 2020.
In the previous version of the report, the source of funding was taxation on profits and dividends related to company payments to shareholders. In the approved proposal, the 2020 Bolsa Família program will come from taxation on investments in closed-end investment funds.
Therefore, the 15% tax rate will be applied based on the receipt of income, that is, prior to the redemption and amortization of open-end funds.
R$1.58 billion to the public coffers—this is what the Bolsa Família 13th-month salary benefit will cost the government. If it is also extended to the continued benefit, the BPC, this amount will reach R$1.44 billion per year.
On the other hand, there are around 13.9 million families that are served by Bolsa Família 2020 through Caixa Econômica Federal.
