In the Covid-19 pandemic, unemployment rose at the same rate as prices in supermarkets. As a result, more and more families found themselves in need of government assistance. Thinking about it, some state governments stipulated the Basic Basket Aid. In the case of the government of Ceará, the aid covers more than 150 thousand families. 

Basically, the government offers a food card worth R$200. The amount is divided into two installments of R$100. In addition, to make the distribution, the government focused on groups of workers who needed to cluster. That is, street vendors, marketers, app drivers. Therefore, people who have daily contact with a large volume of people.

Therefore, in today's article, we will show you how to apply for the Basic Basket Aid. Continue reading and find out!

First of all, to register you need to fulfill some requirements, as well as access the portal provided by your state. For example, the worker must reside in the state of Ceará and be 18 years old or older. In addition, the activities contemplated by the benefit are specific. Thus, see the list of workers who can receive the Basic Basket Aid:

In addition, those who already receive other aid such as social security or unemployment insurance cannot receive the Basic Basket. However, if you receive the Auxílio Brasil or the Emergency, it is still possible to register.

Therefore, you can apply directly through the SPS website. There, simply fill in your information and commit to the truth. In this sense, at the time of registration it is necessary to provide some documents for analysis. See the complete list:

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.

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.
