How much will I receive from Gas Aid this month?
It is important to note that Gas Aid currently covers 100% of the average price of a 13 kg gas cylinder, which may vary depending on each Brazilian's city. The idea of covering the total cost of cooking gas came into effect after the constitutional amendment that increased social benefits.
Therefore, the amount of Gas Aid was doubled. However, plans for next year are different: according to information from Agência Brasil, in 2024 the benefit will once again be worth only half the average price of the cylinder.
How do I know if I am entitled to the benefit?
See below who can receive the federal government benefit:
- Registered with CadÚnico;
- Families whose members include people who receive BPC (Continuous Cash Benefit);
- Families with a per capita income less than or equal to half the minimum wage.
Furthermore, it is worth highlighting that families with women who are victims of domestic violence and are under protective measures have priority.
