What Bolsa Família is for
Bolsa Família is the official app from Caixa Econômica Federal for people enrolled in the Bolsa Família program. It puts the information about a family's benefit on the phone, so you do not have to go to a branch or call to find it.
The developer describes it as a way to see everything about the benefit in one place. It is aimed at beneficiaries who want to follow their own case directly.
Checking household status and benefit makeup
The app shows the current situation of your family in the program. It also lists the composition of the benefits, so you can see which parts make up what the family receives.
Both views are read-only information about the benefit as recorded by the program. They give you a current picture without needing to contact anyone.
Following installments and the payment calendar
The installment statement, called the extrato das parcelas, tracks each payment on the benefit. You can use it to match what has been paid against what you expected.
The payment calendar shows when upcoming payments are scheduled. Together, the statement and calendar cover both what has already arrived and what is due next.
Benefit messages and accessibility
Important messages about the benefit are collected in the app, so notices from the program are in one place rather than scattered.
The developer says this version has improved navigation and works with screen readers, which is aimed at users who depend on spoken or assisted access. The listing states this as a design goal of the update.
