The Gas Aid it is now entering its final phase of payments. By August 31, the Federal Government plans to disburse installments of R$ 108 to citizens with a Social Identification Number (NIS) ending in 7, 8, 9 and 0. However, it is important to note that this assistance differs from others because it is paid every two months. Thus, after this August payment cycle, the next funds will only reach families in October.

Auxílio Gás focuses on families whose monthly income per person does not exceed half the minimum wage, that is, R$ 660, and who are registered with CadÚnico. Additionally, those who already participate in or wish to join other social programs that use the same registration are also eligible.
A crucial detail is the fluctuation in the amount of the assistance. The government adjusts the amount based on data from the National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (ANP) regarding the average price of a 13 kg gas cylinder. In August, the financial assistance is set at R$ 108, showing minimal variation compared with the June amount, which was R$ 109.

| 6 | 25/10 |
| 7 | 26/10 |

In light of these facts, it is clear that Auxílio Gás plays a crucial role for vulnerable families, ensuring the purchase of something as vital as a gas cylinder. The pause in payments in September represents a budget adjustment strategy, not the end of the program. Therefore, it is essential for beneficiaries to follow the calendar and use official channels to resolve questions and obtain updates about the benefit.
