Brazil confirms July 2026 Bolsa Família payment dates

The Brazilian government announced that Bolsa Família transfers for July 2026 will be made between 20 and 31 July, scheduled according to the final digit of each beneficiary's NIS. Families living in municipalities declared in emergency or calamity will receive payments on the first business day of the schedule.

Caixa Econômica Federal also confirmed a one‑off deposit of up to R$2,625 on 29 June for beneficiaries whose NIS ends in 9 and for participants in the Pé‑de‑Meia education program born in January or February. The amount combines the Bolsa Família base (R$600) and supplements for children, pregnant women and adolescents, plus R$1,200 from the Pé‑de‑Meia incentive for high‑school graduates.

In June, about 19.3 million families received Bolsa Família, with an average payment of R$677.66 and a total outlay of roughly R$13.08 billion. Recipients can access funds through the Caixa Tem app, ATMs, lottery houses and other digital channels.
