Tips to Increase Your Chances of Approval for Bolsa Família

Approval for Bolsa Família depends on several factors and compliance with the criteria established by the government. To improve your chances, consider the following tips:

1. Keep CadÚnico Updated: Make sure that all information in the Single Registry (CadÚnico) is correct and up to date. This includes income, family composition and address data.
2. Complete Documentation: Always have the necessary documentation to prove your socioeconomic situation on hand. Include proof of income and personal documents for all family members.
3. School Attendance and Health: For families with children and adolescents, it is essential to ensure school attendance and health monitoring, such as vaccinations and periodic examinations. These are mandatory conditions for maintaining the benefit.
4. Prenatal Exams: In case of pregnancy, carry out all prenatal monitoring exams, which are also requirements of the program.

What to Do if Not Approved?

If you were not approved for Bolsa Família or if your benefit was suspended, it is important to take some actions:

1. Check the Reason: Use the Bolsa Família app, the CAIXA Citizen Portal or contact the Call Center to understand the reason for non-approval.
2. Update your Data: If there are any pending issues in CadÚnico, immediately update the information with CRAS (Social Assistance Reference Center) or the City Hall in your city.
3. Try Again: After resolving any issues, resubmit your registration for analysis and wait for a new evaluation.

Checking Bolsa Família through Caixa Tem and other platforms is a straightforward process, but it requires attention to detail.
