According to data from IBGE, until the first quarter of this year, the unemployment rate was 7.9%.

In other words, the number of unemployed in the first quarter was 8.6 million. 

Unemployment is one of the most delicate and difficult phases in a worker's life. 

In this context, faced by millions of Brazilians, the Work Grant Program is a solution that can bring a little more security in times of uncertainty. 

What is the Bolsa Trabalho Program and how does it work? 

Although it is still new, the Work Grant is a benefit that is helping thousands of Brazilians.  

Its operation is a little different from social benefits such as Family Allowance and BPC, for example. 

In this program, the worker must provide services to public agencies and also take some professional training courses.

As a result, he receives a scholarship in current value of R$540.00. 

In other words, in addition to the financial resource, the beneficiary can improve their resume and continue working, without having any idle time.

Only those who have been unemployed know how harmful idle time can be and how it can increase anxiety levels. 

Furthermore, by leaving home every day and visiting new spaces, we even find an opportunity to network. 

You will find more benefits of this program below. 

How long is the benefit paid?

The worker who meets the requirements will be able to receive the amount of R$ 540.00 for 5 months. 

Thus, the sum of the benefit is R$ 2,700.00.

Without a doubt, this amount makes all the difference in the budget of an unemployed person.

Therefore, it can be used for basic day-to-day bills, paying debts, or even investing in a new job or business. 

Who can receive? 

THE Work Grant Program is intended for workers who have been unemployed for at least 12 months, that is, 1 year. 

However, the worker must not be receiving Unemployment Insurance or any other type of social assistance with equivalent benefits, with a per capita income of up to half the minimum wage. 

Additionally, the beneficiary must have lived in São Paulo for at least two years. This means that Bolsa do Povo is not a nationwide program. 

Since it's only available in the state of São Paulo, it's expected to expand to other Brazilian states. 

It is important to highlight that only one participant per family is allowed.
