Who can receive Gas Aid in 2024?
Families must be registered with CadÚnico and have kept their data updated for the last two years, as this registration is essential for eligibility for the benefit. In addition, they must have a per capita income of up to half the minimum wage or a family total of up to three minimum wages.
It is worth noting that those who have a total income of more than three minimum wages and participate in other government income transfer programs can also receive it. Holders of the Continuous Benefit Payment (BPC) are also entitled to Gas Aid.

How to avoid the suspension of Gas Aid?
Keeping information updated in the Single Registry for Social Programs (CadÚnico) is essential to avoid interruption of the Gas Aid. CadÚnico, under the administration of the federal government, serves as the main source of data to determine eligibility and make benefit payments.
Therefore, it is essential to carry out the necessary updates whenever there are changes in family composition, income or any other relevant data. This practice ensures continued access to Gas Assistance, promoting the effectiveness of social programs designed to help families in vulnerable situations.
