Procedures for applying for Gas Aid and boosting your income with Bolsa Família
To increase household income with the Gas Aid, it is crucial to understand how to apply for it. This benefit is intended for all individuals registered in the Bolsa Família program and aims to ensure that families in vulnerable conditions can acquire a gas cylinder to prepare food in their homes.
Request methods
