On Wednesday (22), the Senate approved a bill in a remote session that extends the R $ 600 emergency aid to other groups, including single fathers and teenage mothers.
As the text has already passed through the Chamber of Deputies, it will be sanctioned by President Jair Bolsonaro, who can sanction the text in its entirety, in part or with a veto.
- single heads of household, regardless of gender, will be entitled to two attendance fees, that is, R $ 1,200 per month;
- Even if they are under the age of 18, teen mothers will benefit.
Emergency aid is intended for informal workers. In the proposal sent to Congress, the government provided R $ 200 for the people, but the parliamentarians increased the amount to R $ 600.
Under the program, informal workers will be entitled to three installments of R $ 600.00 to offset the effects of the coronavirus pandemic on the economy. Payment is limited to two members of the same family.

The text approved by the senators maintains the amount of R $ 600 and the duration of the benefit (three months), but does not require a maximum income limit in 2018 to benefit from the program.
The project lists examples of professionals who can benefit. However, the relationship does not prevent other activities from being considered, provided the requirements are respected.
The list includes, among others:
- professional and artisanal fishermen (they will be entitled to R $ 600 in the months that they do not receive closed insurance);
- farmers
- taxi drivers;
- application drivers;
- Popcorn Walkers.
The text makes it clear that intermittent professionals will also be included, depending on income. The intermittent contract is a modality in which the provision of the service is not continuous, but according to the employer’s demand.
The proposal considers as an informal employee, who is entitled to the benefit, people who have an intermittent contract with a monthly income of less than the minimum wage of R $ 1,045.
Currently, the following are entitled to the Continuous Fee Benefit (BPC), for the amount of a minimum wage per month:
- people with disabilities;
- older people who cannot support themselves and whose families do not have sufficient income to do so.
A family with a monthly income per person equal to or less than a quarter of a minimum wage, equivalent to R $ 261.25, is considered incapable of supporting an elderly or disabled person. The project changes the amount to R $ 522.50.
