The payment of the Gas Aid, scheduled for February 2024, will occur according to the dates established by Bolsa Família, maintaining its distribution rate every two months. However, a significant adjustment is planned for the next installment of the benefit.
According to the government's announcement, the amount of the Gas Aid in February will be reduced by half, corresponding to 50% of the average price of a 13kg gas cylinder. This change will affect more than 5.4 million Brazilian families, who are waiting to know the exact amount they will receive.

What is the expected value for this year?
The exact amount of the Gas Aid in 2024 has not yet been determined. However, it is expected to be half the amount that beneficiaries received previously. In December, the benefit was 100% of the national average value of the 13kg cylinder, resulting in R$ 104.
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.

How to avoid the suspension of Gas Aid?
Keeping information updated in the Single Registry for Social Programs (CadÚnico) is essential to avoid interruption of the Gas Aid. CadÚnico, under the administration of the federal government, serves as the main source of data to determine eligibility and make benefit payments.
Therefore, it is essential to carry out the necessary updates whenever there are changes in family composition, income or any other relevant data. This practice ensures continued access to Gas Assistance, promoting the effectiveness of social programs designed to assist families in vulnerable situations.
