The government established that the Gás do Povo Program will be paid on the 10th of each month, even on weekends or holidays. The new rule begins this Sunday (10th), when 2.71 million families will receive May's credit.

The Gás do Povo Program's main objective is to combat energy poverty, a situation where families cannot afford basic energy costs, such as cooking gas. The program began implementation in November and was gradually expanded, currently serving 15.05 million families throughout Brazil.
