Seeing Bolsa Família blocked can cause concern, especially when the household income depends on the benefit.

If this happened to you or someone in your family, I want to explain clearly what may have caused the blockage and how to act to rectify the situation.

Why is Bolsa Família blocked?

The Federal Government frequently cross-checks data to ensure that the benefit is being paid to those who really need it.

When there is any outdated or conflicting information in the Single Registry, the system can automatically block the payment.

See the main reasons:

• Registration out of date for more than 2 years;
• Lack of proof of school attendance or vaccination of children;
• Family income exceeding the permitted limit;
• Uninformed change of address;
• Duplicity of registrations or inconsistent data.

How do I know if Bolsa Família is blocked?

You can check through the official Bolsa Família app or the Caixa Tem app, logging in with your CPF. Upon entering, a message will appear indicating whether the benefit has been blocked, suspended or cancelled.

You can also check the situation:

• By calling 121 from the Ministry of Social Development (free call);
• At the CRAS (Social Assistance Reference Center) in your city.

What to do to unblock?

If you saw that Bolsa Família was blocked, the first step is to remain calm. In many cases, unlocking is simple.

See how to act:

1. Go to the nearest CRAS with your documents and ask for an update to your Single Registry.
2. Take documents from everyone living in the house, such as ID, CPF, proof of residence, proof of income and children’s birth certificates.
3. Explain the situation to the attendant and ask for a review of the benefit.
4. After updating, unlocking may take 30 to 90 days. During this period, continue following the app.

Important: don’t miss deadlines

If the registration remains out of date for a long time, the benefit may be permanently cancelled. Therefore, even if no one from CRAS has called you, it is important to update your data at least once a year.

Is the value recovered after unlocking?

Yes, in most cases, the amounts that were not paid during the blockade are released in a retroactive installment after the benefit is reactivated. But this depends on the individual analysis of the situation.

Can I do something now?

If you haven’t checked the status of your Bolsa Família yet, do so today:

• Access the Bolsa Família app;
• Or go to the CRAS closest to your home.

If the benefit is blocked, update the data as soon as possible. It is your right to receive, but it is also your responsibility to keep everything up to date.
