The gas voucher is an aid paid every two months to people earning up to half the minimum wage. However, the aid still cannot reach the entire population that fits its distribution parameters.
Therefore, many families continue without getting the aid and the government has been trying to include more people on the benefit list. In addition, what has been talked about lately is that the value of the gas voucher should increase in view of the forecasts for 2022. Understand next.

The national gas voucher is one of the aid offered by the government to help with the monthly income of low-income people. In this case, the main purpose of the aid is to help with the cost of cooking gas, an essential item for a family. As a result, families who have already received the benefit received R$50 in the last installment, which corresponds to half the price of a gas cylinder.
However, the objective is for this value to increase gradually, as well as the intention to increase the number of families receiving the aid. With that, the president says that he intends to increase the value to 56 reais. For this, the Federal Government claims that the matter is being discussed with Petrobras, as well as a budget analysis is taking place to assess this possibility.
The value of the gas allowance is defined according to the analysis of the price of the 13 kg cylinder made by the ANP, the National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels.
In this sense, the agency states that the price of gas should reach R$ 112.48 this year. In this way, the gas voucher would exceed the estimated amount of R$56.00. In addition, Petrobras has already approved the value of BRL 270 million for Vale-gás in 2022, which can benefit an average of 1.5 million families.
