On May 10, the joint commission approved the text of the rapporteur, deputy doctor Francisco (PT-PI). In the plenary of the House, the text did not undergo changes. Deputies also rejected the highlights.
“The text of this PLV added the possibility that nursing mothers could also receive this variable benefit”, said the rapporteur.

- The family will receive at least R$ 600 with the sum of the benefit of all members;
- additional R$ 150 for families with children up to 6 years old;
- additional BRL 50 for pregnant and lactating women;
- makes it possible for 35% of the value of the BPC (Continued Provision Benefit) to be used for payroll loans. The text establishes that 30% are for loans and financing and 5% for withdrawals with credit card or benefit card.
By agreement between the congressmen, the rapporteur included in the text the possibility for the government to exclude the BPC from the calculation of the family income of those who want to receive the Bolsa Família.

Who can receive the benefit:
- Families enrolled in CadÚnico (Cadastro Único);
