Vale Gás Is A Program Created By The Federal Government During The Year 2021, In December, As A Way To Assist Families Registered In The Unified Register To Purchase The Gas Cylinder. According To The Ministry Of Mines And Energy, The Social Program Would Cover At Least 50% Of The Value Of A Cylinder.

According To Data Released By Petrobras, It Is Estimated That The Price Of A LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) Cylinder, Between March 2020 And March 2022, Increased By At Least 46.6%. This Directly Impacted The Wallets Of The Middle And Low Classes. With This In Mind, The Federal Government Created The Vale Gás To Finance At Least Half Of The Cost. Thus, They Would Be Paying R$ 52 For Each Person Registered In The Social Program. However, This Average Is Not Enough For The Purchase, And Many Families Cannot Make The Acquisition.

How Does Vale Gás Work? 

The Vale Gás Is A Social Program Created To Pay R$ 52 Every Two Months For Groups Registered In The Unified Register Who Receive The Auxílio Brasil. Thus, Those Who Receive It In May Will Only Have The New Installment In July. The Calendar For This Month Has Already Been Revealed By The Ministry Of Mines And Energy: 

  • June 17: Payment For Groups With NIS Ending In 1
  • June 20: Payment For Groups With NIS Ending In 2
  • June 21: Payment For Groups With NIS Ending In 3
  • June 22: Payment For Groups With NIS Ending In 4

The Value For Purchasing LPG Is Insufficient

According To The Newspaper FDR, The Vale Gás Amount Has Been Insufficient For Families To Make Purchases. LPG Prices Are High And The Cause Is Double-Digit Inflation Since Last Year.

However, Due To The Budget Limitation For The Year 2022, Since The Federal Government Had Already Spent Above Average In 2020 And 2021 To Pay The Instalments Of The Emergency Aid, There Is No Possibility, At Least This Year, Of An Increase In The Instalment From R$ 52 That Is Paid To 5.4 Million Families.

José Luiz Rocha, President Of The Abragás (Brazilian Association Of Class Entities Of LPG Resellers), Stated That Families Cannot Purchase Gas With The Amount Provided By The Federal Government And End Up Investing This Amount In Other Areas. In Other Words, For Other Household Bills Such As Electricity And Food. 

The Ministry Of Citizenship, Responsible For Making Payments And Managing The Social Program, Has Not Commented On The Possibility Of Increasing Values. However, The President, Jair Bolsonaro, Has Expressed Opposition To This Issue On Several Occasions.
