THE Gas Aid is now entering its final phase of payments. Until August 31, the Federal Government plans to disburse installments of R$ 108 to citizens with Social Identification Numbers (NIS) ending in 7, 8, 9 and 0. However, it is worth noting that this aid differs from others in that it is paid out bimonthly. Therefore, after this August payment cycle, the next funds will only reach families in October.
