One day after Lula warned about the need to monitor the Bolsa Família program, the government excluded 400 ineligible beneficiaries.
The federal government is conducting a thorough review of registrations of single-person households that were receiving benefits irregularly during Jair Bolsonaro's (PL) administration.
247 - The federal government announced this Friday (3) the exclusion of 400 irregular beneficiaries from Family Bag In March, following one of the initial stages of the thorough review of applications from single-person households, according with the newspaper O Globo.
"Around 400 people registered with single-person accounts have already left the program in March. These people are leaving in March not because they are single-person accounts, but because they exceed the income criteria allowed by the program," stated Letícia Bartholo, Secretary for Information Management Evaluation and the Single Registry at the Ministry.
The data from the 4,98 million single-person households identified in the Unified Registry (CadÚnico) will be investigated throughout the year, starting in March, with new blocks due to irregularities occurring from May onwards. The current review focused on 1,5 million beneficiaries.
The Unified Registry (CadÚnico) verification process uses income and family composition criteria. Income is verified by cross-referencing data with other government databases, such as the National Social Information Registry (CNIS). The verification of family composition, in turn, will be carried out by the municipalities.
During the launch ceremony of the New Bolsa Família program held this Thursday (2), at the Palácio do Planalto, President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) He sent a message to offenders who do not meet the program's requirements and circumvent the rules to receive the benefit..
"If there is anyone who doesn't deserve it, that person won't receive it. The program is only for people who are living in poverty," Lula warned.
