The Gas Aid, a federal government program, has been a relief for many Brazilian families. With the increase in the price of cooking gas, this aid has become essential. To apply, you must be registered in the Single Registry (CadÚnico) and meet certain income criteria. Therefore, families with a per capita income of up to half the minimum wage or that have among their members people who receive the Continuous Payment Benefit (BPC) are eligible.
The registration process is simple, but requires attention. First, check that your data in CadÚnico is up to date. This is crucial, as the government uses this information to determine who is eligible for the benefit. Then, wait for your registration to be analyzed. The government performs this check periodically to identify eligible families.
