Why will there be no Gas Aid payment in January?

The last payment of the Gas Aid took place on Friday (22) and those who received it were beneficiaries with NIS ending in 0. Therefore, the next payment will only take place next year, in February. 

This is because the benefit is paid every two months to Brazilians, and since the last installment was now in December, the expectation is that everyone will receive the first installment of the year in February. As with other payments, the Gas Aid follows the Bolsa Família dates.

How to avoid the suspension of Gas Aid?

Keeping data updated in the Single Registry for Social Programs (CadÚnico) is crucial to avoid suspension of the Gas Aid. This registry, managed by the federal government, is the source of information that determines eligibility and payment of the benefit.

In other words, anyone who does not update their data runs the imminent risk of losing their benefits. Therefore, it is essential to carry out updates whenever there are changes in family composition, income or other relevant data.

What was the amount of the Gas Aid in December? 

It is important to note that this benefit covers more than 5.4 million families throughout Brazil. Payments are made every two months, and the last one was in October, meaning everyone is eager to know the amount of this installment. 

As always, the value of the installment is based on 100% of the national average price of a 13kg gas cylinder. Therefore, in December the value will be R$ 104.
