The President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) launches this Thursday (4) in Minas Gerais the “Gas for the People.” The social program guarantees free gas cylinders to low-income families.

It expands the current Gas Aid, which currently benefits 5.4 million households, and is expected to reach 15.5 million households. The start is expected to occur in November.

Who Will Have Access

The benefit will go to families registered in the Unified Registry, with a monthly income of up to half a minimum wage per person.

How It Will Work

The government informed that beneficiaries will be able to pick up gas cylinders for free at 58,000 accredited locations across the country. All locations will have the sign “Here There Is Gas for the People.”

To ensure access, citizens can use the Bolsa Família card, the card from Caixa Econômica Federal, a voucher retrieved at lottery houses, or the Caixa app.

Additionally, there are plans to resume the distribution through “cages” at gas stations to facilitate pick-up in remote areas.

Difference in Relation to Gas Aid

Currently, Gas Aid transfers a cash amount for the purchase of the gas cylinder. In the new format, there will be vouchers or specific credits that can only be used for pickup.

The government believes that this reduces the risk of misappropriation of funds.
