In February, 123,883 families in Acre will benefit from the Bolsa Família program with payments starting on the 12th and continuing until the 27th.
In the Brazilian state of Acre, 123,883 families are set to receive financial assistance through the Bolsa Família program in February. The payment distribution will occur in a staggered manner, commencing on February 12 and continuing until February 27, based on the last digit of the beneficiaries' Social Identification Number (NIS). This systematic approach to payments aims to ensure an organized distribution of funds across the 22 municipalities of the state.
Acre ranks fifth in the average amount disbursed to Bolsa Família recipients in February, with the average payment being R$ 719.36. In comparison, nearby states such as Roraima, Amapá, Amazonas, and Pará report higher average payments, suggesting variations in assistance levels in different regions. Overall, the national program supports over 18.84 million families, with a total investment of R$ 13 billion in this month alone. Each household across Brazil is expected to receive an average benefit of R$ 690.01, highlighting the sizeable investment in social assistance by the federal government.
In Acre, the majority of beneficiaries reside in the capital city of Rio Branco, where approximately 41,976 families are enrolled in the program. This substantial number indicates a significant reliance on the Bolsa Família program in urban areas, underscoring the pressing need for economic support among the poorer sections of the population. As these payments are distributed, they are likely to provide necessary financial relief to those families, thereby contributing to improved living standards in the region.
