Currently, Auxílio Brasil is the largest income distribution program in Brazil. It was created to replace Bolsa Família with updates to bring improvements to more than 18 million Brazilians. Despite this, a large number of people have their Auxílio Brasil blocked each month.

And this is due to some specific reasons such as outdated data in CadÚnico, as well as changes in the per capita income of families, among other changes that end up interfering with the program's criteria, causing the family to lose the right to receive the benefit.

With that in mind, we’ll help you better understand how to block your benefit and what to do to prevent it from happening. Check it out!

It depends! This is because, if your benefit was blocked due to outdated data, you just need to go to the CRAS or corresponding agency in your city with the documents in hand to request that the data be updated again in the system.
