More than 70,000 military personnel received emergency aid of R $ 600 for informal workers during the new coronavirus pandemic. The information is from the Ministries of Citizenship and Defense. In a note, the portfolios reinforce that the Armed Forces Commandos are investigating “possible irregularities” in the process.
According to the government, it is possible that the military received assistance automatically because they had their CPF registered with CadÚnico or were beneficiaries of Bolsa Família.

“The Ministries of Defense (MD) and Citizenship (MC) report that, of the nearly 1.8 million CPFs in the MD database, 4.17% (73,242) received emergency aid from the Federal Government. This includes military personnel ( active and inactive, professional and temporary), retirees, dependents and amnesties, “says the text.
Also according to the government, the Armed Forces investigate “each case individually” and “the amounts received erroneously will be reimbursed.”
Under the criteria for emergency assistance, the beneficiary cannot have formal active employment, which includes “all public servants, regardless of legal relationship, including those who hold a temporary or independent position or a position on a commission and Resignation and elective mandate holders. ”
Furthermore, to receive the benefit, the worker must have a monthly income of up to half the minimum wage per person (R $ 522.50) and a monthly income of up to 3 minimum wages (R $ 3,135) per family. The beneficiary may also not have received taxable income greater than R $ 28,559.70 in 2018.
According to the Ministry of Citizenship and Defense, military personnel may have received emergency assistance automatically because they have their CPF registered with the Cadastro Único or they are beneficiaries of Bolsa Família.
Another hypothesis raised by the portfolios is that among the military who requested assistance, there may be people who belong to families whose monthly income is within the criteria requested by the government, which may have led them to “wrongly” interpret the rules for receiving the benefit.
“If there are indications of practices of illegal acts, the Ministries of Defense and Citizenship will adopt all appropriate measures, always maintaining a commitment to transparency,” the folders affirm.
