Therefore, this is a government subsidy intended to help families purchase a gas cylinder and ensure basic daily meals until their living conditions improve. Currently, the benefit is R$110.00, granted every two months.
However, President Lula recently announced an adjustment to the amount. The goal is to increase the benefit 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.
So far, the proposal has not yet been voted on in the Chamber, an essential step for the payments to be made. Therefore, the new additional Auxílio-gás 2023 benefit may come into effect soon, 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 Auxílio-gás 2023. Therefore, we have prepared a list for you to check whether your family fits the profile of the program's beneficiaries:
Families with a per capita income of up to half the minimum wage;
Family groups that do not currently receive Auxílio-gás (maximum of 1 per family);
Individuals properly registered in the Federal Government's CadÚnico;
Updated records, with information from up to 2 years in CadÚnico;

Beneficiaries of other government programs, such as Bolsa Família.
Thus, those who meet these criteria can apply for the gas assistance in 2023 and receive the payment. To check whether your income meets the requirements, simply add up the earnings of everyone in the family and divide by the number of people.
Thus, a family group with 4 workers who earn R$2,000 together has a per capita income (per person) of R$500.00. In this example, the family would be eligible to receive the benefit.

How to apply for the 2023 gas assistance
First, it is crucial to check whether your family is among the program's potential beneficiaries before submitting the application. After all, the purpose of the benefit is to support those who truly need help at the end of the month.
Next, identify a person responsible for the family group: this person will be the one to answer the questions during registration and provide information about all family members. Remember that this is an important part, so choose whoever is most familiar with bureaucracy.
Next, it is necessary to register with CadÚnico, managed by the Federal Government. Each family member must identify themselves by presenting one of the following basic documents:
Marriage Certificate;
Birth Certificate;
Identity Card (RG);
Individual Taxpayer Registration (CPF);
Voter Registration Card or
Employment Record Book.
It is important to remember that all members must be registered in the family group. In addition, it is necessary to inform whether everyone works and what the family's total income is (remember to keep this information up to date if someone gets or loses a job).
Finally, after completing the registration and checking your eligibility for the benefit, simply apply for the 2023 Gas Aid through the website or web version. After the review, the response will be available for consultation through these same channels.
