Gas Voucher Program 2022: check if you are entitled and how to receive it

The rise in gas prices made it necessary to create a support program for the purchase of this input: the Vale-gás 2022 program. Check it out below.

Cooking gas is a fundamental item for all Brazilian families.

But because the price was rising so much, a federal government social program was necessary to relieve this expense in the pockets of the poorest Brazilians.

The social program known as Vale-gás aims to help the low-income population in the purchase of cooking gas.

This help is extremely important, given that many families were already resorting to old methods of cooking, such as alcohol stoves.

The program will pay the equivalent of 50% of the average price of a 13 kg gas cylinder on a bimonthly basis, which was initially set at R$ 52 per family.

Why do cooking gas prices keep rising?

This recurring increase is due to Petrobras' new pricing policy.

This means that the company can carry out readjustments in gas prices without defined periodicity, mainly following oil and dollar quotations.

Therefore, these values are corrected weekly, and can be passed on to the final consumer if the government understands that they are out of date.

As a result, each time the cylinder in a house runs out and the consumer goes to buy a new one, the price is higher.

Who is entitled to the benefit

Initially, three groups of families will benefit from receiving the Gas Voucher:

  • Those who are enrolled in the Single Registry for Social Programs of the federal government (CadÚnico), with monthly per capita family income less than or equal to half the national minimum wage;
  • Those that have members who receive the benefit of continued provision of social assistance, the BPC;
  • Finally, the law establishes that the aid will be granted “preferably” to families with women who are victims of domestic violence and who have protective measures.
The high price of cooking gas has harmed millions of Brazilians.

It should be noted that the benefit will begin to be paid to around 100,000 families, but the government hopes to reach more than 5 million families through this program.

How to check if I am entitled and how to receive the aid

People who meet the requirements explained above can check the availability of the benefit through the Auxílio Brasil applications, through CAIXA Tem or by calling 111.

The values referring to the program will be credited to the accounts that the beneficiaries already have for other social programs.

This means that the cards and passwords used to withdraw the Auxílio Brasil can be used to receive the Gas Voucher.

Don't waste time and consult if you are entitled to this social program!
