However, President Lula recently announced an adjustment in the amount. The goal is to increase the aid by 50%, as an addition to the program, until the end of 2023.
Since the beginning of the new government, several other programs, such as Bolsa Família, have undergone adjustments. Thus, the measure aims to provide an additional amount, also due to the increase in the price of the input in recent years.
To date, the proposal has not yet been voted on in the Chamber, an essential step for the execution of payments. Therefore, it is possible that the new additional Gas Aid 2023 will soon come into effect, as soon as it is duly voted on and sanctioned by the President of the Republic.

Before applying, it is necessary to observe the criteria to identify who is entitled to the 2023 gas aid. Therefore, we have prepared a list for you to check if your family fits the profile of the program's beneficiaries:
Families with per capita income of up to half the minimum wage;
Family groups that do not have current gas assistance (maximum of 1 per family);
Individuals correctly registered in the Federal Government's CadÚnico;
Updated records, with information from up to 2 years ago in CadÚnico;
Beneficiaries of other government programs, such as Bolsa Família.
Therefore, those who meet these criteria can apply for gas assistance in 2023 and receive the payment. To check if your income meets the requirements, simply add up the income of everyone in the family and divide by the number of people.
Thus, a family group with 4 workers who together earn R$$2 thousand reais, have a per capita income (per head) of R$$500.00. In this example, the family would be eligible to receive the benefit.
