Will those hired under the CLT lose their Emergency Aid? Find out!
If you ended up getting hired after applying for Emergency Aid, you're probably wondering what will happen to your benefit, right? To find out all the information about Emergency Aid, just keep reading our article!
What is Emergency Aid?
The Emergency Aid is a benefit adopted by the Federal Government that aims to help people who are being financially harmed during the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil.
Who is entitled to Emergency Aid?
The Emergency Aid is a financial benefit provided by the Federal Government to informal workers, individual micro-entrepreneurs (MEI), self-employed individuals, and the unemployed, and aims emergency protection during the period of coping with the crisis caused by the pandemic.
Attention! To be eligible, all the indicators below must be up to date!
- To be registered in the CadÚnico (Single Registry for Social Programs), or to register through the website or app;
- Receive up to R$552.50 (half the minimum wage) per person in the family;
- Or receive up to R$3,125.00 (3 minimum wages) as total family income;
- Be over 18 years old;
- Not having formal employment;
- Not having an income greater than R$28,559.70 in the year 2018.
Does signing a contract mean losing the Emergency Aid?
People who are eligible for Emergency Aid must meet all the rules mentioned above.
Those who have been hired with a formal employment contract should not face these difficulties, as they will have a source of income.
If you are employed, there is no reason for you to receive the benefit. Brazil has been facing difficulties for years, even before the pandemic, and people without need trying to circumvent the law may prevent those who truly need it from receiving this money, which is essential for survival.
How much will be paid to those who applied for Emergency Aid?
How will the payment be made? Newly approved beneficiaries need to know that the amount of R$ 600 (or R$ 1,200 for single mothers) will be deposited directly into a free Caixa digital account, opened specifically for the emergency .
My request was denied, but I meet the requirements. What should I do?
Those who had their emergency aid denied and disagree with the reason given can file an appeal through the Caixa Auxílio Emergencial program itself.
Those who entered incorrect information when making their application must submit a new request. However, those who declared everything correctly and still had their application denied can contest the result and submit the application for re-evaluation.
