Checking your Vale Gás status using your CPF is a practical way to find out if you have been selected to receive the benefit. There are several ways to check this status, offering accessibility and convenience to all beneficiaries.
An accessible option to check your Vale Gás is the “Caixa Tem” app from Caixa Econômica Federal, widely used for managing social benefits, including Vale Gás. To check:

For those who prefer in-person service, it is possible to check the benefit at a Caixa branch. Bring an official document with a photo and your CPF. An attendant will check the system and inform you about the status of the benefit.

Checking your Vale Gás benefit periodically helps ensure that the benefit is used at the right time. With several options for checking, it is easy to check your status and find out how to access the aid.
The Vale Gás is automatically credited to Caixa's digital social savings account every two months. This account is the same one used for other social programs, such as Auxílio Brasil.
When approved for Vale Gás, the amount is deposited directly into the digital social account linked to the beneficiary's CPF. It is not necessary to request the credit, as the deposit is made automatically.
The amount of the Gas Voucher can be used directly through the Caixa Tem app, which allows payments with the available balance. It is also possible to generate a code for withdrawal at ATMs, lottery outlets or Caixa Aqui correspondents.
If you prefer to withdraw the amount in cash, you can do so at Caixa branches, lottery outlets or Caixa Aqui correspondents. Use the Bolsa Família Card, Citizen Card or a code generated by Caixa Tem. The withdrawal must occur within 90 days after the credit is received.
Although the Vale Gás is credited in cash, it must be used to purchase a 13 kg gas cylinder. In some locations, payment can be made directly with the credit, avoiding withdrawal and ensuring proper use of the benefit.
The Vale Gás payment schedule is published by the federal government and generally coincides with other social benefits, facilitating families' financial organization.
The amount of the Gas Voucher is valid for 90 days from the date of credit. After this period, the amount returns to the public coffers and the beneficiary loses the right to access it. Therefore, it is essential that the benefit is used within the validity period.
