Low-income families receive VALE-GÁS
Everyone knows that cooking gas is a very important point in the daily life of Brazilians. However, its value remains high, even with recent declines, precisely because the pullbacks have been so timid.
Therefore, the federal government pays a benefit to lower-income families so that they can more easily purchase a 13-kilogram cylinder. Thus, they will not have to give up their reduced income.
The National Gas Voucher payment is made bi-monthly, that is, every two months. Since the last payment was made in February, the beneficiaries will not receive the benefit in March, but only in April.
In short, the gas voucher is intended to cover 50% of the cost of a 13-kilogram cylinder. However, Constitutional Amendment No. 123 allowed the government to spend more than the BRL 41.2 billion spending ceiling by mid-2022. As a result, aid increased last year from BRL 53 in June to R$110 in August. .
The gas voucher paid in December marked the end of the stimulus provided by Constitutional Amendment No. 123. However, the cost will remain above 100 rials in 2023, thanks to constitutional amendment No. 126, which raised the spending ceiling by 145 billion rials. , and allowed Lula’s government to continue aid this year.
Finally, the gas voucher paid R$110 to beneficiary families in February. This means that the residents of 13 FS were able to buy the cylinder only with the cost of the benefit.
This is very positive, especially since the gas voucher is paid to disadvantaged families and is intended to cover 50% of the cost of a 13 kg cylinder. However, it has been several months since the beneficiaries have benefited from much larger sums.
