Beneficiaries registered in the Single Registry for Social Programs of the Federal Government (CadÚnico) with Social Registration Number (NIS) at the end of 2 will receive this Thursday (11) the December Gas Aid in the amount of R$ 110.
Scheduled to last until the end of 2026, the program benefits 4.4 million families this month. With the approval of the Transitional Constitutional Amendment, at the end of 2022, the benefit was maintained at 100% of the average price of a 13 kg cylinder.
The benefit is paid every two months and follows the Bolsa Família calendar, with payments until December 23, for beneficiaries with final NIS 0.
Only those who are included in CadÚnico and have at least one family member who receives the Continuous Payment Benefit (BPC) can receive Gas Aid.
The law that created the program defined that the woman responsible for the family will have preference, as well as women victims of domestic violence.
People’s gas
In September, the federal government launched the People’s Gas programwhich will gradually replace Gas Aid.
Instead of the cash benefit, families will collect gas cylinder refills from accredited retailers.
The new program aims to triple the number of beneficiaries, reaching around 15 million families. At the end of November, Gás do Povo began to be distributed to 1 million families in the following capitals: Belém, Belo Horizonte, Fortaleza, Goiânia, Natal, Porto Alegre, Recife, Salvador, São Paulo and Teresina.
