How to receive the benefit?

The form of receiving the aid also depends on the state. For example, to receive the benefit, the Government of Ceará will provide a food card. That is, a card that can only be used for food purposes. For example, in supermarkets, bakeries, grocery stores and accredited establishments. Incidentally, the benefit is worth R$200, which will be distributed in two installments of R$100.

How to use the Basic Basket Aid?

Finally, as many families depend heavily on this money to put food on the table, all you need to do is create an account. That is, according to Agência Brasil, the average basket in the northeast is around R$500 reais. Therefore, unfortunately the R$200 do not include this value. In this way, it is necessary to make the calculations based on the prices of your city and use the card only as an income supplement.
