The federal government began releasing emergency aid of R$ 600 a month ago for the population considered most economically vulnerable to the Covid-19 pandemic (the disease caused by the new coronavirus).
Around 50 million individual microentrepreneurs, individual workers, self-employed and unemployed, according to Caixa Econômica Federal, received the first installment of the money. Two more are planned.
The start of payments will complete one month this Saturday (9).
But what are the criteria for receiving it? Is it possible to access more than R$ 600 per month or combine it with Bolsa Família?
The answers to these and other questions are addressed in this series of folders produced by the Social Service committee of the Santos Dumont Institute (ISD), created to guide the population about government measures and what has changed in basic services during quarantine.
The content is based on information released by official sources and is part of a larger set of educational actions that the Institute has developed during the pandemic.
In addition to emergency aid, the folders cover new rules for withdrawing medicines under the Farmácia Popular program, changes involving the social energy tariff and what INSS service is like during this period.

The objective of the work, according to the Institute, is to disseminate verified information to the entire population, especially those served by the Center for Health Education and Research Anita Garibaldi, ISD's school unit for health professions.
Anita is in operation for over 10 years in Macaíba, municipality 14km from Natal, capital of Rio Grande do Norte.
The Center serves patients exclusively through the Unified Health System (SUS) and, since 2016, has been authorized as a Specialized Center for Hearing, Physical and Intellectual Rehabilitation (CER III). With this, it was able to start offering the Multiprofessional Residency in Health Care for People with Disabilities, considered a pioneer in Brazil and already comprising three classes.
