The Brazilian government does not mess around when it comes to ensuring that low-income families have access to basic resources for a dignified life. And a good example of this is the Auxílio Gás program. 

The objective of this benefit is to help reduce the impact that the price of cooking gas has on these families' budgets.

With Gas Aid, it is possible to receive an installment of R$ 112.00 (one hundred and two reais) every two months.

It is important to mention that the value corresponds to half the current average price of a gas cylinder. And the best part: to receive the amount, the program deposits the money into a bank account. 

However, be careful: each family is entitled to only one benefit, which must be used within 120 days after payment is released. 

Finally, there is no need to worry: after all, Auxílio Gás does not interrupt the receipt of other benefits from the Single Registry, nor is it calculated as extra income. 

After all, taking care of Brazilian families is a serious commitment, but it shouldn't last forever.

Who is entitled to the benefit?

Brazilian families in vulnerable situations rely on a government task force to guarantee access to basic resources. In fact, Gas Aid is an important measure on this journey. 

Families that can benefit are those who:

  • People who registered with the Single Registry are included;
  • Those earning up to 50% of the minimum wage per person each month are eligible;
  • If someone in the house receives the Continuous Payment Benefit (BPC).

It is important to highlight that the benefit is always granted to the head of the family, with preference for women. So that help reaches those who really need it.

What is the value of Vale Gás?

Gas Aid aims to alleviate the high cost of gas prices on the budget of the poorest families. To achieve this objective, the benefit will be calculated as 50% of the average national price of a 13kg cooking gas cylinder. 

In other words, as the beneficiary will receive it every two months, the amount will be R$ 112.00.

What are the advantages of this government benefit?

Firstly, Auxílio Gás is a government program that provides support and various benefits to low-income families.

In addition to helping to reduce the impact on the family budget, Auxílio Gás also contributes to people's well-being and quality of life.

With a cost of R$ 112.00 every two months, families can guarantee access to cooking gas, an essential item in their daily routine.

What's more, the benefit is not included in the calculation of the monthly family income limit, allowing more people to have access to this right.

Furthermore, Auxílio Gás is an inclusive program. After all, it covers both families registered in the Single Registry and families with BPC beneficiaries. 

Auxílio Gás is, without a doubt, a program that brings several benefits to low-income families in Brazil. And best of all: it helps guarantee access to a basic and essential right for human survival.

To be part of the program, you must be registered in the Single Registry. However, don't worry, there is no need to rush to city hall to register for the Single Registry, as registration can be done online via the Ministry of Citizenship's website.

After registering, you must wait for the selection of beneficiary families. If your family is one of those selected, you will receive a notification informing you of their inclusion in the program.

To benefit from Gas Aid, you must have a bank account. However, if you don't have an account, don't worry, as the program will open a digital social savings account for you, at no cost.

Finally, take advantage of the financial assistance offered by Auxílio Gás to take better care of your budget and ensure greater peace of mind for your family.
