Social programs will migrate to Bolsa Família.
Beneficiaries of the "Our Bread, Our Milk" and "Green Basket" programs will be enrolled in the Bolsa Família program; the Social Development Secretariat intends to create a single registry.
Brasilia Agency – Starting this month, beneficiaries of the Our Bread, Our Milk, and Green Basket programs who meet the eligibility criteria will permanently migrate to the Bolsa Família income transfer program. This action is part of the DF Without Poverty initiative and complies with Law 4.670 of November 11, 2011, which stipulates that these benefits must be maintained until their beneficiaries are included in the Federal Government's Single Registry.
Since June 2011, the State Secretariat for Social Development and Income Transfer (Sedest) has been focusing its efforts on registering and re-registering families living in poverty and extreme poverty in the Federal District. The objective was to unify the four existing registration databases and include families with income equal to or less than half the minimum wage per person or with a monthly family income of up to three minimum wages in the registry, and to direct these families to social programs according to their social and economic conditions.
All families that meet the criteria will benefit from the Bolsa Família program. Of these, those with an income of up to R$ 100 per person in the family, considering the value of the federal benefit, will also receive the DF sem Miséria supplement, up to a limit of R$ 300. Families that do not meet the income criteria of the program may have access to other benefits, such as, for example, the social electricity tariff.
The "DF without Poverty" program is restructuring food and nutritional security actions and programs in the Federal District, aiming to guarantee dignity and the human right to adequate food. Within this context, the "Our Bread, Our Milk" and "Green Basket" programs will be reformulated to serve social assistance organizations that care for children, adolescents, women, the elderly, people with disabilities, and families at social risk.
Sedest will also prioritize expanding the network of public facilities, such as community restaurants; community kitchens; community bakeries; food banks; community fairs and markets; community, school, urban, peri-urban and rural gardens. The implementation of these public facilities for Food and Nutritional Security.
