How does Vale-gas work?
According to a study carried out last semester by the National Petroleum Agency, the amount paid for the program was R$ 52. According to this study, the average price found for an average 13-kilogram cylinder is R$ 102.46.
Also according to this study, the forecast is that gas will increase to R$ 112.48 next year, which will make the benefit rise to R$ 56 in the year 2022.
The payment of Vale-gás will start in December and the next installment will be paid in February, which means that the benefit will be paid every two months.
The value, however, will not be able to supply half the value of a gas cylinder in 17 states, according to the survey by the Metrópoles portal.
The transfer of the amount will be carried out by Caixa Econômica through the Caixa Tem application.
What is the duration of the program?
The program will have an initial duration of 5 years.
In the next few days, the official schedule of the program will be published, which will contain more information about this benefit.
