How Caixa Econômica financing works and how to take advantage of subsidies
Signing up for Gas Assistance is easier than it seems. We will detail each step clearly and directly so that you and your family can participate in this important benefit.
The first step is to check whether your family is already registered in the Federal Government's Single Registry for Social Programs, known as CadÚnico. This registration is essential for the government to identify families that meet the requirements for programs such as Auxílio Gás.
If you are not registered with CadÚnico yet, don't worry. Just go to the nearest Social Assistance Reference Center (CRAS). Bring documents such as your ID, CPF, proof of residence and information showing your family's financial situation. The CRAS staff will help you with the registration quickly and easily.
After confirming your registration, just wait. The selection of beneficiaries of the Gas Aid is automatic, that is, you do not need to register directly for the program. The government evaluates the data from CadÚnico and identifies families that meet the criteria, such as family income.
To ensure that you continue to receive the Gas Aid or are included in other programs, it is important that your data in CadÚnico is always up to date. Any changes in your family or financial situation must be reported to CRAS.
Gas Aid offers financial assistance based on the average price of a 13 kg gas cylinder. I will explain very directly how this calculation works.
The benefit corresponds to 50% of the national average price of a gas cylinder, a value determined periodically by the National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (ANP). For example, if the cylinder costs on average 100, you will receive 50 as aid. The ANP constantly monitors prices, which helps to keep the aid value always up to date.
The amount of the benefit is not fixed; it varies according to fluctuations in the price of gas. These changes are reflected in the calculation of the benefit, so it is interesting to monitor these adjustments to know how much will be made available in each period.
To register for Auxílio Gás, ensure your registration is up to date with CadÚnico and follow the program's communications. With correct and updated information, you have easier access to this and other social benefits.
