Auxílio Gás, a government initiative aimed at supporting low-income Brazilian families in the face of rising Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) costs, has been a significant relief for many families’ budgets in 2024.
Thus, with the price of a gas cylinder reaching increasingly higher levels, the program becomes essential to ensure that access to this basic resource is not compromised.

Auxílio Gás Registration
The procedure for applying for Auxílio Gás is simple and accessible. The idea is to ensure that as many eligible families as possible can benefit from this financial assistance. Thus, through a three-step process, applicants can check their eligibility, complete the required form, and receive the benefit.
To be eligible for Auxílio Gás, it is essential to be part of CadÚnico, with a household per capita income of up to half the minimum wage or a total income not exceeding three minimum wages.
In addition, registration can be completed either online or in person at a CRAS. Once registered with CadÚnico, the next step is to fill out the specific application form for Auxílio Gás, wait for the review and, if approved, follow the instructions to withdraw the benefit.
Combined benefits
An attractive aspect of the benefit is the possibility of combining it with other social programs, such as:
- Bolsa Família;
- Continuous Cash Benefit (BPC).
In other words, families do not need to choose between one benefit and another, and can receive multiple forms of financial support that help cover different needs.
Auxílio Gás: how does it work?
The benefit is deposited into the account every two months and its amount is based on the national average price of a 13 kg gas cylinder. This amount is determined by the National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels.
Therefore, to check whether the benefit has been deposited, beneficiaries can use the Bolsa Família and Caixa Tem apps. Another option is to contact the numbers provided by Caixa and the Ministry of Social Development, Family and the Fight Against Hunger directly.
