The federal government established the Gas Subsidy Project with the goal of supporting families in vulnerable conditions in purchasing cooking gas, an essential component for their daily lives. With the price of gas cylinders rising throughout Brazil, many families have faced challenges in obtaining this basic item, resorting to less secure options, such as using wood-burning stoves or different types of gas.

Last year, the federal government launched the Gas Subsidy concession as an innovative step. Initially, the amount made available was equivalent to 50% of the national average for a 13 kg cylinder. However, from August to December 2022, the program began to fully finance the price of the cylinder, that is, 100% of the national average.

The ratification by President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) made it mandatory to preserve the full coverage of the value of the gas cylinder by law. From then on, the program establishes bimonthly payments, with previously established start dates for deposits.
Who is Eligible to Receive the Gas Subsidy?
To be eligible for the Gas Subsidy, registration in the Single Registry is required, with a family income of up to half the minimum wage per member. Although there is preference for beneficiaries of Bolsa Família or the Continuous Benefit Payment (BPC), participation in one of these programs does not guarantee automatic access to support for purchasing the cylinder.

The government adds new beneficiaries to the program based on financial availability. Payment is made via direct transfer to the Caixa Tem account.

The Impact of the Gas Subsidy on Vulnerable Families
The implementation of the Gas Subsidy has been vital in ensuring that vulnerable families have access to a product that is crucial to their well-being. With financial support, these families have the possibility of purchasing a 13 kg cooking gas cylinder, ensuring safe food and improving their quality of life.
Furthermore, the program also brings environmental benefits, since the use of wood stoves or other less safe types of fuel can cause pollution and health risks for families.
In short, the Gas Subsidy Project is a key initiative by the federal government to help vulnerable families in purchasing a cooking gas cylinder. With the rising price of this essential item, many families have had difficulty purchasing it, threatening their health and well-being.
The full coverage of the cost of the gas cylinder by the Gas Subsidy is a comfort for these families, ensuring that they have access to an essential item for preparing meals. Additionally, the program also contributes to the preservation of the environment, encouraging the use of a cleaner and safer energy source.
It is crucial that families that meet the eligibility criteria pay attention to payment dates and register with the Single Registry to ensure access to the benefit. The Gas Subsidy symbolizes an important achievement for vulnerable families, providing greater dignity and quality of life.
