As the name already says, the idea is that it is an aid, but it will certainly be a great help for families. Therefore, the benefit will be paid together with the Auxílio Brasil and the first installments have already started to be distributed.

Therefore, in this article, we will show you exactly how this new government aid works and also if you can receive it. Continue reading and check it out!

What is Gas Aid?

In the first place, the Gas Aid was created with the intention of subsidizing household expenses with cooking gas. Incidentally, this product has had a great increase in recent years, reaching R$130 in some cities. Therefore, the Gas Aid benefit came at a good time.

In this way, this aid will cover the full value of a 13 kg cylinder. That is, the value is determined directly by the National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels.

In this sense, every two months the government will make the payment to the families that are part of the benefit.

In addition, the Auxílio Gás will be paid together with the Auxílio Brasil (the substitute for the Bolsa Família). In this way, families that already have a CadÚnico registration have a chance to receive this benefit.

What are the benefits of Gas Aid?

Cooking gas has been undergoing readjustments for some time. This is because the National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (ANP) stipulates the national average value of the product on a monthly basis.

With this growth, it became increasingly necessary to create aid for low-income families. Therefore, Gas Aid will help several families pay for kitchen gas, which is an essential item. 

Who is entitled to assistance?

As already mentioned, the Gas Aid benefit is available to a specific group of people. Therefore, it is necessary to keep your information always up to date to be entitled to assistance. See below some of the conditions to receive the aid.

  • Families already registered in the Single Registry for Social Programs of the Federal Government. Better known as CadÚnico, the same one used at Auxílio Brasil;
  • Family groups with monthly per capita income less than or equal to half the national minimum wage;
  • People who receive the Benefit of Continued Benefit;
  • Families with women victims of domestic violence.

Incidentally, this last group has total urgency to receive the aid. Especially those that are under protective measure.

How do you know if you will receive the gas aid?

In addition, to find out if you will receive the Gas Aid benefit, just keep your registration up to date. In addition, you can consult your CPF, both in the Caixa Tem app and by calling 111 and 121.

So, just call and check how your situation is in relation to the benefit. Finally, after confirming your situation, just pay attention to the calendar provided by the government.

That's where you find out what day you will receive the benefit. By the way, remember that the payment order is made by the Social Identification Number, the NIS. In that sense, always have it on hand.
