Despite being one of the states with the highest proportion of vulnerable families, Acre appears among the worst in Brazil in the average value of the benefit of Bolsa Familia. According to recent Federal Government data, the average monthly household value in the state is R $ 601, well below the national average of R $ 678.

The income transfer program currently serves 20.8 million families throughout Brazil, representing about 18% of the population. While the Midwest leads with the highest average value (R $ 897), followed by South (R $ 862), Southeast (R $ 822) and North (R $ 680), the Northeast, where the number of beneficiary families is the largest (9.4 million), records the lowest average value (R $ 629). Acre is even below this regional average.
In addition, states such as Mato Grosso (R $ 968), Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina, which have the lower percentage of families in extreme poverty, record higher values, even driven by extra transfers due to climate disasters.

In Acre, most beneficiaries receive basic aid, intended for families with monthly income per person of less than R $ 436, with conditions such as the school attendance of children and adolescents and the monitoring of child health.
