Gas Aid, a crucial initiative of the Federal Government, is approaching its final payment cycle for the current period, with the final date set for October 31. Implemented in 2021, the program was a direct response to the difficulties faced by families in situations of socioeconomic vulnerability.
The initiative ensures that these people have access to 13-kilogram liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) cylinders. Therefore, check out more details about who is eligible for this benefit and how the payments take place.
Who is entitled to Auxílio Gás?
Gas Aid is a program for families who are already beneficiaries of Bolsa Família, providing additional support to cover gas expenses. The amount, which is R$ 106, is based on the national average gas price. The amount is established by the National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (ANP).
The amount is paid bimonthly, that is, every two months, directly into the account associated with the beneficiary's Bolsa Família.
How can you check whether you will receive the benefit?
Beneficiaries can confirm whether they are on the Gas Aid recipient list in several ways. One of the most convenient options is through official apps, such as the Bolsa Família app (available for Android and IOS) and Caixa Tem (available for Android and IOS).
In addition, payment dates vary according to the last digit of the Social Identification Number (NIS). Thus, the schedule is specific to each number.
With the payment period coming to an end, it is essential that beneficiaries check their eligibility and are aware of the specific payment dates. Gas Aid has been a vital support for many families during these challenging times, ensuring that they can meet a basic need such as cooking gas.
