First, it's important to remember that this is a program provided to citizens who meet all the requirements. Therefore, the beneficiaries first need to carry out work activities. 

So, they need to be street vendors, street vendors, school van drivers, tour guides and others. Likewise, it is necessary to be over 18 years old and not be receiving any other assistance benefit. 

In addition, those who receive unemployment insurance will not be able to access the benefit. Or also, who is a public servant or currently receives any federal income. 

Finally, those who already have some type of financial aid provided to the unemployed will also not be able to receive the benefit. But, except for the exception of family grant recipients or emergency aid. 

Is the basic basket aid mandatory?

Now, it is important to remember that the granting of the benefit and its obligation was made through collective agreements. Furthermore, if the company does not comply as it should, it will receive fines for non-compliance.

Therefore, supervision is extremely important to ensure workers receive the basic basket aid. Therefore, before the company officializes the granting of the benefit, it is necessary to analyze whether the beneficiary is in dire need.

Because, when making the decision, that company will no longer be able to go back on the decision and stop offering the benefit. In addition, it will also not be valid for the beneficiary to sign any documents attesting to the withdrawal.

Furthermore, the basic basket benefit cannot be reduced and can be granted in other ways. So, food vouchers can be provided or even set up a collective cafeteria in the company.

How much time can the worker receive?

Likewise, it is important to remember that, by law, this aid can never be altered, such as reducing or suspending it. Furthermore, it is necessary to be attentive, as workers who have the right can ask for it at any time. 

So, even those who are new to the company are guaranteed the right without needing a grace period. Finally, even though many municipalities are not offering the basic basket aid, some of them offer other types of help.

So always be aware of your city's CRAS to seek help if necessary. In addition, also look for the official websites of the city halls in your municipality and get better information.
