Gas assistance is released to the population – Find out if you are entitled to this benefit

Unfortunately, one of the most frequent scenarios in Brazil is the situation of thousands of families not being able to pay 100% with the costs of a house. In addition, one of the costs that has grown the most lately is cooking gas, in the 13 kg cylinder.

Therefore, thinking about this part of the population, the Federal Government created the Auxílio-Gás program with the objective of helping low-income families to have access to cooking gas.

In addition, there are currently more than ten million beneficiaries of the Gas-Aid and receive a 50% voucher when purchasing a 13 kg cylinder. To gain access to this benefit is very simple, where all beneficiaries of Auxílio Brasil can have this bimonthly benefit.

In this sense, we have listed in this article all the main details and information about the Gas Aid, as well as how you can gain access to this benefit.

Who can receive Gas Assistance?

Certainly, people who fit the respective points can receive this benefit:

1. Have an active registration in the Single Registry (Cadúnico);
2. Have a per capita family income of up to half a minimum wage (R$ 606);
3. Have a total family income equal to or less than three minimum wages;
4. Families with an income of more than three minimum wages, provided they are included in income transfer programs;
5. Having among the members of the family a person who receives the Benefit of Continued Benefit (BPC/Loas).

However, as time went by, this benefit became limited for people, and more criteria emerged. See some more of them:

• Families with updated registration in Cadúnico, in the last two years;
• Lower income;
• That have a greater number of members;
• Families covered by the Brazil Aid;
• With registration qualified by the manager through the use of information from the investigation (if available).

Gas Aid is Guaranteed for 2023

First of all, it is important to make it clear that Auxílio-Gás provides aid only every two months to its beneficiaries, where those who received it in December will only receive it again in February 2023.

In addition, it is worth noting that the budget proposal maintains the payment in 2023, but it will not be doubled, as it is now. According to the Ministry of Economy, R$ 2.2 billion will be allocated for gas aid, in addition to the bimonthly installment of R$ 65.70 now in 2023. This is good news for those who need this aid.
