Start of Bolsa Família 2026 Payments in August
Payments for Bolsa Família 2026 begin this Tuesday (August 18) for beneficiaries with NIS ending in 1.

Caixa Econômica Federal begins payments for Bolsa Família for the month of August on Tuesday, August 18, 2026. The first beneficiaries to receive payments will be those with a Social Identification Number (NIS) ending in 1.
Payments will be made in a staggered manner over the last ten working days of August, following the order based on the last digit of the NIS of the family head. This system aims to organize the distribution of payments among beneficiaries.
A full payment calendar will be available for consultation, detailing the specific dates for each NIS ending. Payments will continue until August 31, when all beneficiaries will have received the amounts due.

This social program is an important form of financial assistance for families in vulnerable situations, providing essential support for food and basic needs. Payment guidelines are widely communicated at the beginning of each month to help beneficiaries plan accordingly.
Caixa Econômica Federal recommends that recipients consult the official app for more information and to access the updated calendar, ensuring they can keep track of the payment schedule.
