Expectation rules

One of the privileges offered when anticipating social assistance is withdrawal without a card or documents. The person in charge of the household can obtain a special payment statement, provided by the municipal program administration, to access the funds.

During a public emergency, actions such as extending investigation and registration review deadlines are also permitted.

These decisions can be made after the State Coordination of Bolsa Família sends a letter to the National Secretariat of Citizen's Income requesting the adoption of state or federal measures or decrees to recognize the state of emergency or public disaster. The municipal administration can also request joint federal funding to support those affected.
