Author of the bill, Deputy says that the program has resources only to pay high school students for another 2 months
The federal deputy (PSB-SP) said on Monday (27.jan.2025) that he will threaten the future of high school students who would benefit from the financial incentive.
In X, the congressman explained that, with the retention of R $ 6 billion of the program by decision of the TCU (Federal Court of Audit), the bottom of the foot has only 2 months of payments. “From March, almost 4 million low -income young people can lose financial support that helps them stay at school and complete their studies, ” declared the author of the project.
The court determined that the government could not use the contribution of FGEDUC (Educational Credit Operations Fund) to fund the foot. The reason: the approved law determines that the money must come from appropriations of the budget itself, without being able to transfer a kind of “Third parties”.
In practice, TCU’s understanding is that the government made an irregular move by using the money from where it could not afford the foot. The solution would be to determine a specific amount of LOA (annual budget law) and book the fund’s money for the National Treasury.
Tabata states that the transfer between the 2 funds was authorized by Leia 14,995 of 2024. According to her, the movement has the same fiscal impact, without additional spending.
“I understand that some procedures guarantee more transparency and efficiency in public management, but while the technical issue is not resolved, students cannot be harmed,” declared.
The deputy said that the government asked TCU to unlock the appeal or a deadline to adapt to the required rules. It also evaluates to take the case to the Supreme Court (STF).
It is the role of the opposition to oversee the government, but this cannot be done at the expense of low -income young people who depend on this money to continue studying. We cannot turn this debate into stage for likes and politicians ”, declared tabata.
