Gas Aid 2025: Last Cash Payment Will Be R$ 108 in October. Know Dates, Values, and the Transition to Vouchers or Digital Cards.
In October 2025, registered families in the Gas Aid program will receive the last cash payment, amounting to R$ 108. The benefit, intended for low income families linked to the Bolsa Família, is a fundamental assistance for purchasing kitchen gas cylinders.
Starting in November, the program will stop directly transferring cash to beneficiaries, adopting alternative methods such as vouchers or digital cards to ensure gas reaches families in need more safely and efficiently.
The payment schedule follows the final digit of each beneficiary’s NIS (Social Identification Number).

The cash payment will be made according to the last digit of the NIS:

Even if the Bolsa Família payments are anticipated, the Gas Aid will follow these specific dates, ensuring that all beneficiaries receive the amount of R$ 108 correctly.
Transition from Gas Aid to People’s Gas
With the end of cash payments, the federal government will implement the “People’s Gas” program, which will replace cash value with vouchers, digital cards, or accredited pickup points.
The measure aims to increase security, reduce fraud, and ensure that gas is effectively used for family consumption.
The number of gas cylinders each family will receive will remain proportional to the family size, varying from 3 to 6 units per year, ensuring that everyone has access to the fuel necessary for cooking.
Reasons for the Change
The government argues that transitioning from cash payments to vouchers and cards aims to prevent issues with the misuse of the benefit.
According to experts, direct delivery of gas instead of monetary disbursement reduces diversion risks and simplifies the program’s logistics.
Moreover, the measure allows for greater control over the quantity of gas cylinders distributed, preventing families from receiving less or more than expected, ensuring social equity and efficiency in the use of public resources.
Impacts for Gas Aid Beneficiaries
The main change for users is that they wont receive cash anymore, but will have direct access to gas cylinders at authorized pickup points.
This alteration requires beneficiaries to pay attention to the dates and locations for pickup.
Although the delivery method will change, the benefit amount remains equivalent to R$ 108, ensuring that families are not financially disadvantaged.
The expectation is that the process will be safer and more organized, avoiding delays and common disruptions associated with cash payments.
Care and Recommendations
The implementation of the new model requires special attention to ensure that all families are served:
- Expansion of pickup points in small towns;
- Guarantee of efficient distribution of vouchers or cards;
- Integration with other social programs, ensuring that no one is left without gas.
Beneficiaries should stay informed about the information released by the government and the official channels of the Gas Aid, avoiding scams or fraud during the transition process.
The Gas Aid will have its last cash payment in October 2025, amounting to R$ 108, and starting in November will be replaced by the People’s Gas program, which will deliver the benefit through vouchers or digital cards.
