The gas assistance is a program aimed at low-income Brazilian families. However, women who are victims of domestic violence and have a protective measure have priority in receiving the benefit.
The resources are paid by the Ministry of Development and Social Assistance, Family and Fight Against Hunger, but CAIXA is responsible for executing the payments and making the service channels available to beneficiaries.
What do I need to do to participate in the program?
One of the prerequisites is to register with CadÚnico. However, families must have a monthly family income of no more than half the minimum wage per person.
