PIS / Pasep . Fund

According to Caixa Econômica Federal, about 10.6 million people will be able to withdraw the PIS / Pasep Fund, which has been issued since August 2019 to beneficiaries of all ages (if they have not yet withdrawn the amount).
The bank informed that 23.5 billion Brazilian reais are awaiting the withdrawal of beneficiaries.

Quotas are for those who worked with an official contract between 1971 and 4 October 1988. Public servants who are entitled to BASSEP shares will also be able to withdraw amounts.

In the event of the death of the shareholder, the heirs and successors are allowed to withdraw funds.
The deadline for withdrawing these funds will expire on June 1, 2025. Amounts not withdrawn after this date will be considered negligent and the federal government will own the funds.

Many of these shares were not withdrawn due to the death of the shareholder prior to the withdrawal of the amount. Many heirs were unaware that the deceased possessor had the benefit.

Another reason is that elderly beneficiaries who do not know have the right to withdraw the ration amounts.
The PIS / Pasep share can only be withdrawn once by the receivable, and after the funds are withdrawn, the balance is canceled.

In 2020, the PIS/Pasep Fund was abolished by the Federal Government and its funds were transferred to the FGTS (Fundo de Garantia do Tempo de Serviço). Therefore, Caixa will be responsible for paying the PIS/Pasep stakes.

A worker who is entitled to PIS / Pasep shares and has not yet made a withdrawal, can request a withdrawal through the FGTS application, in a digital way, choosing the following options: “My withdrawals”, “Other withdrawals”, “PIS / Pasep”. You can indicate an account at any banking institution to receive funds (no fees will be charged). In the event of the shareholder’s death, the account balance will be provided to their dependents.

You can get PIS earnings:

• By account credit, when a worker has an individual account with Caixa, with a balance and positive movement in recent months.
• At Caixa ATMs, the reporter Caixa Aqui and the lottery, using the Citizen Card.
• In Caixa branch
• Identification documents:
• ID card
• Driving license (new model)
• The functional portfolio is recognized by decree
• Military ID
• Alien ID card
• A passport issued in Brazil or abroad

how to consult

You can refer to it through the FGTS application, on the FGTS website (www.fgts.gov.br) and for Caixa account holders through Caixa Internet Banking. In these channels, you will be able to select the name of the employer, which will be registered in both PIS and Pasep.

PIS (Social Integration Program)
Pasep (public server software)

Remember that PIS / Pasep stakes are not the same as salary bonus PIS / Pasep. This is because the worker receives the salary bonus once a year according to the number of months worked and has an average income up to the minimum wage.

PIS / Pasep shares are paid to the worker only once.
