Deposits are staggered according to the student’s month of birth directly into Caixa Econômica Federal accounts opened in the beneficiary’s name.

- November and December: receive this Thursday.
The amounts paid are: R$ 1 thousand. Plus R$200, for participating in the 2025 Enem.
Deposit
Students who passed the 3rd year in 2025 will have the nest egg completion incentive released for immediate withdrawal, in the amount of R$1,000, in addition to the single installment of R$200 if paid over the two days last year.
Students in the 1st and 2nd years of public high school will have the amount of R$1,000 credited to their account, which will remain blocked until the stage is completed.
The student can choose to keep the resource in the banking institution’s savings account or direct it to be applied to Tesouro Direto, through the Caixa Tem application.
Evidence from education networks
The MEC explains that the payment of the completion incentive to Nestlé beneficiaries is not generated automatically after the end of classes for the academic year.
Only those who have their information duly confirmed by the education networks will have guaranteed payments.
The process of sending information by the education departments occurs in two stages: confirming students’ approval at the end of the school year and confirming completion of high school.
According to the department, the objective is to offer more security and qualification for the data of this public policy.
Five dates
If there is a delay in sending student data through the education network, the federal government explains that the Nestlé installments will be deposited on one of the five dates scheduled by the MEC until the beginning of July.
The deadline for education networks to forward school information is June.
If payment has not been made on the first date, the student must simply wait for the information to be updated by the education network.
The MEC advises students to regularly monitor their situation on the Consulta Pé-de-Meia virtual page, accessed through the Gov.br platform account.

Pé-de-Meia benefits around 4 million students through a financial-educational incentive from the federal government.
The initiative is aimed at students enrolled in public high school enrolled in the Single Registry for CadÚnico (Social Programs of the federal government).
The program works as a savings account to promote the retention and completion of students at this stage of education. The objective is to democratize and reduce social inequality among young people.
