In 2024, more than 5 million Brazilian families registered with CadÚnico will benefit from Auxílio Gás. Thus, the federal government program, with an investment of R$1.562 million, will reach families in 5,563 municipalities in the country.
Therefore, distribution will be made every two months, following the Bolsa Família calendar, based on the last digit of the beneficiary's Social Identification Number (NIS).

About Gas Aid
The value of the aid, set at R$104 per family in December, corresponds to the average cost of a 13 kg cooking gas cylinder. Thus, the Northeast Region has the largest number of families benefiting, with 2,600,551 families, representing a federal transfer of R$$ 270.4 million.
Therefore, the number of families served may vary according to the price of the gas cylinder and the CadÚnico Cadastral Verification. The objective is to ensure that the benefit reaches those who really need it.

It is important to note that the Gas Aid benefits more than 5.4 million families throughout the country. Payments are made bimonthly, and the last one was in December. Therefore, there is great expectation regarding the amount of the next installment.
