Autonomous cargo and taxi drivers from all over the country receive this Tuesday (18) the October installment of the Truck Driver and Taxi assistance. Each installment is equivalent to R$ 1 thousand. The payment was initially scheduled to take place on the 22nd, but was brought forward four days.
Truck drivers who made the self-declaration by October 7 can receive the fourth, fifth and sixth installments. In relation to taxi drivers, it was up to the municipalities to send, until the beginning of August, the registration of licensees active until May 31.
The money is deposited in digital social savings accounts and can be moved through the Caixa Tem app, which allows purchases in registered virtual stores, payment of household bills and transfer to any bank account.
Created by the constitutional amendment that established a state of emergency because of the rise in fuel prices, the Truck Driver and Taxi aid will be paid until December. The amendment increased social benefits and instituted emergency aid until the end of the year.
self-declaration
In Taxi Assistance, the registration of self-employed professionals is solely the responsibility of the municipalities, which send the data to the Ministry of Labor and Social Security. It was sufficient for the permit holder to have the registration regularized at the city hall (or at the Federal District government, in the case of the federal capital) by May 31.
At Auxílio Caminhoneiro, the government prepared a portal for drivers to apply for the benefit. Since August 15, autonomous cargo carriers (TAC) can make the Self-Declaration of the Registration Term to receive the BEm Caminhoneiro-TAC.
Due to the anticipation of the benefit, the Ministry of Labor and Social Security has brought forward the deadline for submitting the self-declaration until October 7th. Those who missed the deadline can send the data until November 7 to be entitled to the benefit, but they will only receive the fifth and sixth installments.
The self-declaration can be made through the Emprega Brasil Portal or through the Digital Work Card application. After this period, truck drivers will only be entitled to receive the benefit from the month in which the data was sent, provided that the other legal requirements are met.
who is entitled
Autonomous cargo carriers, registered in the National Registry of Road Cargo Transporters (RNTR-C) of the National Land Transport Agency (ANTT) until May 31 of this year, will be entitled to the benefit. Professionals must have a valid National Driver’s License (CNH) and CPF, among other requirements.
Also called the Emergency Truck Driver Benefit (BEm-Caminhoneiro), the aid will be paid to each autonomous carrier, regardless of the number of vehicles they have. The payment of the BEm- Truck driver will be reviewed monthly. For the next batches of payment, ANTT will forward to the Ministry of Labor and Social Security the list of autonomous cargo carriers that are in the “active” situation in the RNTR-C.
Taxi Assistance
Taxi drivers registered with city halls, holders of concessions or permits issued by May 31, are entitled to the benefit. No action by taxi drivers will be required. In case of doubt, the driver should contact the city hall to verify the municipal register. The provision of information will be entirely up to the city halls or the government of the Federal District.
