How to register for Bolsa Familia

As we are well aware, Bolsa Família is a program totally aimed at assisting the population in extreme poverty in Brazil. Therefore, in order to register, it is necessary to fulfill some requirements that prove the need to be part of the program.

In January 2019, President Jair Messias Bolsonaro, together with the Ministry of Economy in Brazil, closed millions of accounts that were found to be irregular. The main reason was not needing to participate in the program.

Thus, in the same year, Bolsa Família was able to pay the 13th salary to program participants for the first time in history. This is because the benefit has undergone a profound change in the way it is registered. To register for Bolsa Familia, you need to do the following:
