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 R$150 for families with children up to 6 years old.
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.

Protection rule
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.
