The cost of living in Brazil has become very high, and among the basic items that the population struggles to have, is the kitchen gas. The price of cylinders has frustrated the population, and the constant increases in the prices of this item have made its acquisition very difficult, at least among the most needy families.

With the rise in gas prices, the federal government started to benefit families in social vulnerability with the gas voucher, which is a program that pays half the value of a cylinder every two months to beneficiaries. The measure aims to ensure that these people have access to this essential item.
There are currently more than 5 million people benefiting from the project, who now have the guarantee of being able to cook meals for their families. The government still intends to expand the rules so that more people can be covered. At the moment, the gas voucher is intended for families that are enrolled in the CadÚnico, and the selection of beneficiaries happens automatically. To receive the aid, the family must have a per capita income of half a minimum wage, that is, R$ 606.
In the last week, the PEC of Aids was approved, which, among other measures, provides for covering the entire value of the cylinder. In this way, transfers now amount to R$ 120. The expected cost for the public coffers by increasing the benefit is R$ 1.05 billion.
One possibility raised by the government during the discussion of the measure was to make monthly payments with the payment of the full amount in the gas voucher. However, it seems that transfers will continue to be made every two months. Therefore, three more payments will be made this year, and the next one is scheduled for August, already with the new value. In June, the amount paid to beneficiaries was R$53.
