Family Grant 2025

Bolsa Família remains one of the Federal Government's main income transfer programs. In this guide, we'll show you the steps to quickly and easily apply for and be approved for the benefit. Learn the requirements, how to apply, and the Bolsa Família amount in 2025!

It's important to note that Bolsa Família is also available to people who received Auxílio Brasil during the previous administration. Furthermore, the program serves all states and municipalities, allowing families from any region of the country to access the benefit. The first stage of registration can be completed entirely online, without the need to leave home.

What is the value of Bolsa Família in 2025?

The standard monthly benefit is R$600, but families may receive additional amounts depending on their family composition:

  • Children up to 6 years old: the total amount can reach R$750;
  • Children between 7 and 18 years old or pregnant women: receive at least R$650.

The objective of Bolsa Família is to meet the needs of each family proportionally, demonstrating the government's attention to people in situations of financial vulnerability.

Difference between Auxílio Brasil and Bolsa Família

Although both are income transfer programs, Auxílio Brasil was a reformulation of Bolsa Família during the previous administration. In 2025, the program was renamed Bolsa Família, maintaining the same values ​​and benefits that Auxílio Brasil offered in its final year. In other words, those who received Auxílio Brasil can continue receiving it, as long as they meet the current requirements.

How to track the status of Bolsa Família

After registering, you can easily track your application's progress. The government provides official apps and online platforms, such as the Meu CadÚnico App or the Ministry of Citizenship website, where beneficiaries can check whether their registration has been approved, whether there are any outstanding payments, or when payments will be released. Additionally, you can track your benefit status directly at Caixa Econômica Federal branches or at CRAS (Social Assistance Reference Center) service points. Keeping your registration up to date is essential to ensure that payments are made correctly, especially if there are changes in family structure, such as the birth of children or changes in income.
