Caixa pays Bolsa Família for beneficiaries with NIS end of 9

Caixa Econômica Federal pays this Tuesday (29) the September installment of Bolsa Família to beneficiaries with a Social Registration Number (NIS) ending at 9. This month, 19.29 million families will benefit, with the average value of the benefit at R$678.18.

Residents of 179 municipalities in seven states received the credit on the 17th, regardless of the final NIS number. The unified payment benefited localities in emergency situations or in a state of public calamity in the following states: Acre (all 22 municipalities), Amazonas (three municipalities), Paraíba (31), Rio Grande do Norte (113), Roraima (6), São Paulo (one) and Sergipe (three).

See the list of municipalities with unified payment available.

The minimum value corresponds to R$600. In addition to the minimum benefit, there is the payment of three additional benefits. The Nutriz Family Variable Benefit pays six installments of R$50 to mothers of babies up to six months of age, to guarantee the child's nutrition. Bolsa Família also pays an additional R$50 to families with pregnant women and children aged 7 to 18 and another R$150 to families with children up to 6 years old. The values ​​will be readjusted in October.

In the traditional Bolsa Família model, payment occurs in the last ten working days of each month. The beneficiary will be able to consult information about payment dates, the value of the benefit and the composition of the installments in the Caixa Tem application, used to monitor the bank's digital savings accounts.

In addition to the full benefit, there is payment for the protection rule. In force since June 2023, this rule allows families whose members get a job and improve their income to receive 50% of the benefit to which they would be entitled for up to two years, as long as each member receives the equivalent of up to half the minimum wage.

Since June last year, the length of stay under the protection rule has been reduced from two to one year. However, those who entered the rule until May 2025 continue to receive half the benefit for two years.

Since 2024, Bolsa Família beneficiaries no longer have the Defeso Insurance discount. The change was established by Law 14,601/2023, which rescued the Bolsa Família Program (PBF). Defeso Insurance is paid to people who survive exclusively from artisanal fishing and who cannot carry out the activity during the piracema (fish reproduction) period.
