The Caixa Econômica Federal will commence payments for February under the Bolsa Família program on Thursday, the 12th. The disbursement schedule is structured so that payments are made in a staggered fashion over the last ten business days of the month, beginning with beneficiaries whose Social Identification Number (NIS) ends in 1. This structured rollout allows families to prepare and know exactly when they will receive their assistance based on their NIS. In December, however, these payments are typically advanced in order to accommodate holiday expenses.

Families that rely on the Bolsa Família program must refer to their NIS, which is printed on their benefit cards, to ascertain the exact date of their payment. The official payment calendar provides specific dates for each number ending: for example, NIS ending in 1 will receive payment on 12/2, while those ending in 2 will see payments on 13/2. This systematic approach is crucial as it organizes the disbursements efficiently, ensuring that all beneficiaries receive their funds in a timely manner throughout the month.

With the continual support from the Bolsa Família program, many families in Brazil depend on these payments for their daily expenses. The consistent scheduling not only helps in budgeting for these families but also reflects the Brazilian government's effort to maintain a structured social support system. As February payments start, it emphasizes the importance of ongoing support for families navigating financial challenges amid economic variations.
