President Jair Bolsonaro signed the law that institutes Auxílio Brasil, a financial assistance program for low-income families that replaces Bolsa Família. The new law was published in the edition today (30) of the Official Gazette of the Union (DOU), with two vetoes.
The law that was approved by Congress replaces the Provisional Measure that created the Auxílio Brasil, edited in August by the government. Among the presidential vetoes is article 21, which required the program to to have sufficient budgetary allocation to cover all possible beneficiaries.
The justification for the veto was that “the proposal goes against the public interest, as the linking of care to all eligible families would result in an increase in expenses”.
Another vetoed section was Chapter III, article 42, of the new law, which established targets for poverty rates. In this case, the justification was that the provision “would result in an impact on public expenditure in view of the commitment imposed on the Executive to comply with it, without a proper estimate of its budgetary impact”.

Due to the MP published in August, the payments of the new social program began to be made in November 17th by Caixa Econômica Federal, with an average value of R$ 217.18.
From from December, the beneficiaries were also entitled to an extraordinary supplement, created via a new MP published earlier this month. With that, payments reached R$ 400.
A decree also published in the DOU of this ThursdayThursday (30) extended this extraordinary supplementary benefit until December 2022.
Initially, Auxílio Brasil reaches 14.6 million families that were already served by Bolsa Família, but the government works with the estimate of reaching up to 17 million families.
