The month of November 2026 has begun, bringing with it scheduled payments for various federal programs and benefits such as INSS, Pé-de-Meia, and Bolsa Família. While some deposits are set to occur in the first days of the month, others are scheduled for the second half. The official calendar covers key benefits including the National Social Security Institute (INSS), Bolsa Família, the Pé-de-Meia program, BPC/Loas, and the FGTS anniversary withdrawal.
Regarding INSS payments for November 2026, deposits for beneficiaries receiving up to one minimum wage begin on November 24. These payments continue until December 7, determined by the final digit of the benefit number. Specifically, those with numbers ending in 1 are paid on November 24, followed sequentially through the month: ending in 2 on the 25th, 3 on the 26th, 4 on the 27th, and 5 on the 30th. The schedule extends into December for digits 6 through 0, concluding on December 7. For beneficiaries receiving more than one minimum wage, payments for November competence start on December 1 and end on December 7, following a specific grouping of final digits.
The Bolsa Família program distributes funds during the last ten business days of each month in a staggered manner, with an exception made for December when payments are advanced. For November 2026, the schedule is as follows: payments for NIS numbers ending in 1 occur on November 16; those ending in 2 are paid on November 17; and numbers ending in 3 through 0 are processed on November 18. Looking ahead to December, payments are expected between December 10 and December 23.
The Pé-de-Meia benefit, intended for public school students who met minimum attendance requirements, has also released its November schedule. Payments are organized by the student's birth month. Those born in January and February will receive funds on November 23, while March and April births are scheduled for November 24. The calendar continues with May and June on the 25th, July and August on the 26th, September and October on the 27th, and finally, November and December births on November 30.
The BPC/Loas benefit follows the same payment calendar as the INSS for those receiving up to one minimum wage. Deposits are released between November 24 and December 7 based on the final digit of the benefit number. The sequence begins with numbers ending in 1 on November 24 and progresses daily, finishing with numbers ending in 0 on December 7.
Finally, the FGTS anniversary withdrawal is available for workers born in November who have opted into this modality. These individuals can withdraw a portion of their available balance between November 1 and December 30, 2026. The anniversary withdrawal allows for an annual partial withdrawal during the beneficiary's birth month, while those who did not opt in remain under the traditional termination withdrawal model. The broader calendar for other months extends into early 2027, with November births having a window that runs until January 29, 2027.
