In 2024, Auxílio Gás will be available only in February. This benefit, normally distributed every two months, was last released in December. Thus, even with this bimonthly frequency, payments will continue to follow the schedule established for Bolsa Família.
In the following month, there will be a significant change in the amount of the benefit. According to information released by the government, there will be a reduction in the amount of Auxílio Gás in 2024.

Who can apply for Auxílio Gás?
To be eligible for Auxílio Gás, applicants must meet certain criteria. They must:
- Have an active registration in the Cadastro Único (CadÚnico);
- Have a per capita family income of up to half the minimum wage (R$ 606) or a total family income that does not exceed three minimum wages.
There is also a possibility of eligibility for families with an income above three minimum wages, provided they are enrolled in income-transfer programs at any level of government.

As usual, the installment amount is calculated based on 100% of the national average price of a 13 kg gas cylinder. Therefore, in December, this amount is estimated at R$ 104.
