What is the value of the Citizen's Income?
The monthly benefit provides R$100 to low-income families in São Paulo and Goiás. This money can be withdrawn using the Bolsa do Povo card at bank branches. However, to receive and be approved for the benefit, it will be necessary to meet the criteria listed below.
- Requirements to receive the benefit
- Being illiterate or having low professional qualifications
- Being unemployed or underemployed
- Living in a property with precarious conditions or not having a home
- Having a substance abuse problem or any other health issues
- In addition to the previous requirements, these families will need to have a monthly per capita income that does not exceed half the minimum wage (currently R$ 606)
- To be registered in the CadÚnico system in a regular and up-to-date manner.
The monthly benefit will be used both to provide financial assistance to families and to address important social issues such as children's school attendance and the health of family members.
