One of the most talked about aids in congressional discussions has been diesel fuel. Check out how to secure this aid
The agenda is part of the open front, which is commanded by Arthur Lira. They are still in debate about the readjustments in the price of gasoline and diesel oil. Check below who can receive it, how and how much it should be paid.
What is the diesel aid? And what's the point?
In fact, it is an aid of R$ 400 that benefits more than 900 thousand truck drivers. A lot of people don't know about it because it was released just a year ago.
Diesel aid is intended to help with fuel-related expenses, due to the increasingly high price in the country. In addition, it also aims soften the impacts caused by the consecutive increase in freight prices.

Despite the announced value of R$ 400, this number did not reach the expectations of some truck drivers. Therefore, President Jair Bolsonaro, together with the leaders of Congress, is reassessing the value.
The intention is to pay something around R$ 600 to R$ 1.000. Along with this aid, an increase in the gas allowance was also considered. These measures will only be possible through the possibility of a decree of state of emergency.
Who is entitled to receive the benefit?
Like most aid made available by the government, this will also be released to families enrolled in the Single (Single Registration). However, there will be some restrictions regarding the diesel aid.
This is because, as mentioned at the beginning, diesel assistance is a benefit provided by the government and directed to self-employed truck drivers, regardless of whether they are low-income or not.
It should be noted that the possible changess are being analyzed, but the workers' expectation is that the value will be readjusted, since the price of gasoline, ethanol, diesel and CNG fuels are on the rise in the country.
