Thus, the government seeks ways to guarantee income for the population and avoid losses to the Brazilian economy through emergency benefits.
One option is the return of emergency aid in February. Other benefits are also being considered, including:
- Bolsa Família reformulated;
- Advance payment of the 13th salary;
- Advance payment of salary bonus;
- Emergency FGTS.
Reformulated Bolsa Família
Bolsa Família is already active. Now, the program is expected to undergo a reformulation, which should be announced in the coming days. Some of the changes expected include:
- Entry of 300 thousand families;
- Increase in the average ticket from R$ 200.00;
- Creation of scholarships for academic, scientific and sporting merit;
- Extreme poverty group will be considered with income of up to R$ 92.00 per person and not more than R$ 89.00 per person;
- Poverty group will consider families with income of up to R$ 192 per person, and not more than R$ 178 per person.
Advance payment of the 13th salary
The 13th-month salary advance is the benefit with the highest chance of being approved, and is intended for INSS (National Institute of Social Security) retirees and pensioners. It's also possible that the first installment will be paid in February, while the second in March.
Beneficiaries who receive retirement, maternity pay, survivor's pension, imprisonment benefit, accident benefit and sickness benefit may receive the advance.
Advance payment of salary bonus
The bonus will follow the 13th-month salary advance schedule and is expected to be released in February and March. Following the previous model, the bonus will pay workers a minimum wage (R$ 1,100.00).
So, check out who will receive it below:
- Must have worked with a formal contract for at least 30 days in the last year;
- Have received a maximum of two minimum wages per month;
- You have been registered with PIS/PASEP for at least 5 years;
- The company where you worked must provide the correct information.
Emergency FTGS
Emergency withdrawals from FGTS are available. If last year's rules are maintained, each worker will be able to withdraw up to one minimum wage from active or inactive accounts.
