According to information from the Ministry of Citizenship, in February 2022, more than 5 million people managed to receive the money from the gas voucher. This number increased by more than 100,000 beneficiaries when compared to the first remittance in 2021.
In this sense, although the government intends to further increase this number, it has already been informed that this will be done progressively and analytically. Thus, it is worth mentioning that the gas voucher is released every two months, and this is one of the reasons why new people will join the program during the same period.
To get in line to get the aid, it is important to comply with the criteria that the government is demanding. With this, it is important that the family is written in the CadÚnico. In addition, it is also necessary to have a monthly family income per capita less than or equal to R$ 606, that is, half of a minimum wage.
In addition, families with a member who receives the Benefit of Continued Provision (BPC) can also receive the gas voucher. It is also worth mentioning that the program prioritizes families in which the woman was a victim of domestic violence and who are under preventive monitoring.
It is possible to withdraw the benefit at ATMs available throughout Brazil. To do this, you need to click on “Withdrawal at the cashier”, choose the option “Emergency benefits” and inform the withdrawal code that is presented in Caixa Tem. After that, just click confirm and receive the desired amount.
