Gas Aid is a federal government program aimed at helping low-income families purchase a 13 kg cooking gas cylinder. Thus, the amount of the benefit takes into account the national average price of the cylinder, researched by the National Agency of Petroleum.
This benefit is paid every two months, meaning that families are entitled to it every two months. Therefore, the October calendar is already available; find out what the amount and payment dates will be.

How much will I receive from Gas Aid?
The expected amount for this month is R$ 110, the average price of the cylinder in recent months. However, it is important to note that this amount may undergo some changes depending on the region of the country where you live, so stay alert.
Therefore, to find out whether you have already received it, simply access the app (Android and iOS) or the Bolsa Família website.
Who can receive the benefit?
All families registered with Cadúnico and with a per capita income equal to or below R$ 660, the amount of half the minimum wage, may receive this benefit. A common question is whether receiving Bolsa Família rules out the possibility of receiving Gas Aid: the answer is no.
Even if you receive Bolsa Família, you may be eligible for the benefit, as long as you meet the necessary requirements. The same applies to those who receive BPC (Continuous Cash Benefit).
