If you are Brazilian, you have certainly heard of Bolsa Família, a government program that benefits millions of people in vulnerable social conditions. Maybe what you don't know is that it has an official app to make life easier for your beneficiaries.
Bolsa Família is a Federal Government program that grants monthly financial aid to families or individuals with a per capita income of less than 1/3 of the minimum wage.
This family must register with CadÚnico, underage children and adolescents must attend school regularly. Women undergo gynecological follow-up. In addition, the registration must be updated every 2 years.
This system aims to reduce social inequality and encourage low-income beneficiaries to prepare for the future. This financial aid is so that there is more food and a better life for those who receive Bolsa Família.
This benefit may be suspended if there is any inconsistency in the registration, including conditions such as a child out of school, the absence of the woman to the gynecologist and failure to update the registration.
Bolsa Familia official app
The Bolsa Família application was developed (like all applications) to facilitate interaction between the beneficiary and matters related to him. Many of the advantages of the official Bolsa Família application are to make it more practical to consult important program information.
This data is related to the Bolsa Família services by the Caixa Econômica Federal bank, among the functions of the application:
- Balance available in real time.
- As payment dates are not repeated, there is a calendar for payment of Bolsa Família. This schedule can be easily found in the app.
- Another important piece of information that could not be missing is the account history, and weekly and monthly statements can be found in the Bolsa Família application.
- The data of the last installments paid has not been forgotten in this application.
- It has a list of all Caixa branches, including the units closest to the user, to resolve issues related to the Bolsa Família.
In addition to these and other data, users can also update their registration or even contact them to ask questions about Bolsa Família.
Without the official Bolsa Família application, the beneficiary has to go to the agency to obtain it, which implies a setback due to the time spent for this, in addition to any expenses that may be incurred with transport.
The Bolsa Família application avoids this, putting information in a short time, free of charge, in the palm of your hand.
How to download the Bolsa Familia app
The Bolsa Família application is available for free in the app stores for both Android and iOS (iPhone) mobile devices.
To locate the beneficiary, you have to search for Bolsa Família application and check if the creator of the application is identified as Caixa or the Federal Government to confirm that it is from an official source. To use just download and install.
The app is available for download at app store (for devices with iOS operating system) and in the Google Play (for Android devices).
From there, the next step to access subjects of interest to the beneficiary is just to login. By typing only the NIS number, the information is provided by the system.
