FGTS reaches R$1,000 for 40 million workers in 2022

FGTS reaches R$1,000 for 40 million workers in 2022. The Minister of Economy, Paulo Guedes, revealed the withdrawals of funds from the Impeachment Compensation Fund (FGTS) until the end of the year. Many workers with a positive fund balance will be able to recover the resources. It is estimated that about 40 million workers could receive between R$500 to R$1,000.

There are many initiatives that we can take until the end of the year that will help the economy grow. We can mobilize FGTS resources as well, because it is private money,” he said at an event held by BTG Pactual Bank.

These are the people who have the resources out there and are facing difficulties. Sometimes a man owes money to the bank and is in credit with the FGTS. He wondered why you can’t withdraw this account and settle his debts on the other side?

a FGTS It is a kind of worker’s savings, but it can only be withdrawn in specific cases stipulated by law, such as unfair dismissal, cases of serious illness, purchase of property, for example.

It is worth noting that the federal government has already granted exceptional withdrawals from FGTS In 2019 and 2020. In addition, there is a method that allows workers annually to redeem a portion of the balance available in their financial accounts in the month of their birthday.

The so-called birthday pull is optional, so the worker must stick to the method. However, whoever chooses it loses the right to withdraw and cancel, granted in the event of unfair dismissal. Sometimes, only a 40% fine is available.

According to an analysis conducted by the Ministry of Economy six months ago, in 2019, there were 1.1 million adhesions in memory of looting FGTS. In 2020 (as of August), there were more than 6.5 million workers. In 2021, there were 5.8 million operations through August.

However, Christmas loot can be committed by every worker in the CLT (Standardization of Labor Laws) system. It also includes domestic, rural, temporary, intermittent, and independent workers, safreiros (rural workers who work only during the harvest period), and professional athletes.

spending

What is lacking in the executive branch to apply these definitions is really a matter of spending analysis. They are analyzing how much the union would need to release to make those payments. At least that’s what is known so far.

According to the press, expenditures should range from 20 billion R$ to 30 billion R$. So this is the main debate so far. Again, this definition will end up defining the body of this version.
