The payment of the gas aid will begin by Caixa Econômica Federal next Monday (19). Thus, the last days to register for the program and guarantee the bimonthly receipt of this voucher are coming to an end!
The objective of this benefit from the Federal Government is to help low-income families with the costs of gas cylinders of up to 13 kg. Payment is made every two months, in even-numbered months, and has an average value of R$$120.00 – in accordance with the national average.
In this way, through gas assistance, a better standard of living is provided for families, in addition to preventing them from being exposed to situations that could put their own lives and those of their family members at risk – such as the use of bonfires or other forms of fire.
