Gas Aid began payments last Wednesday (18), together with the Family Allowance. Thus, beneficiaries with final NIS 1 and 2 have already received their payment and today (20) it was the turn of those with NIS 3. 

In addition to these people, families from the Amazon region and the south of the country were also able to withdraw the amount on the 18th. This is because the regions suffered from atypical weather conditions and had a state of emergency declared by the government. 

Therefore, see below the complete benefit calendar for October and find out what the amount will be this month.

How much will the October Gas Aid installment be? 

The amount covers 100% of the price of the 13kg cylinder. It is worth noting that the plans for next year are different, since in 2024 the benefit will cover only half of the average price of the cylinder. 

In addition, the aid installment falls into a digital account of the holder, but if the person does not have one, it is possible to open a digital savings account at Caixa.
