What is Vale-Gás?
The Vale-Gás dos Brasileiros is a program that pays, every two months, the equivalent of 100% of the national average value of a 13 kg cylinder.
In 2025, this value will be around R$ 107.65, but may vary according to the price of gas monitored by the National Petroleum Agency.
Payment is made by Caixa Econômica Federal through a digital account accessed via Caixa Tem.
Who is entitled to the Gas Voucher?
To receive the benefit, the family must:
- Be registered in CadÚnico, with data updated in the last 24 months;
- Have per capita income of up to half the minimum wage;
- Be receiving the BPC (Continuous Payment Benefit) or the Bolsa Família;
- Take priority to women victims of domestic violence under protective measures.
The selection of beneficiaries is made automatically based on data from the Single Registry of the Federal Government.
