A new series of R$ 110 payments on Caixa Tem will be starting soon. This benefit refers to the Federal Government's Gas Aid, which is provided every two months. Currently, support for purchasing a 13 kg gas cylinder is received by more than 5 million families.
Unlike Bolsa Família, Gas Aid does not have a fixed amount. However, the amount corresponds to 100% of the average price of cooking gas, according to information from the National Petroleum Agency (ANP). In June, the allowance is expected to reach R$ 110.

Many Bolsa Família beneficiaries are surprised not to be included in the payroll for the R$ 110 benefit provided through Caixa Tem. However, the reason is simple: each program has its own rules and characteristics.
Auxílio Gás is granted to families with a monthly per capita income equal to or below half the minimum wage and whose registration in CadÚnico (Cadastro Único) is up to date. The benefit is also intended for beneficiaries of the Continuous Cash Benefit (BPC). Although it is not a mandatory criterion, the government prioritizes women who are victims of domestic violence and have urgent protective measures in place.
