Important information for all workers who worked for at least 30 days in 2019 with a formal contract. Know that you should be aware of the deadline for redeeming the PIS/PASEP benefit.

The withdrawal must be made by the 30th, and the request must be sent to Caixa Econômica Federal, which handles workers registered by the CLT (Consolidation of Labor Laws) or to Banco do Brasil, for public servants in the case of PASEP.

So, you might have up to R$ 1,100 to receive. So my dear reader, if you are within these prerequisites, know that you can earn good money.

For those who receive PIS, for example, Caixa Econômica Federal leaves the allowance through an existing account. So, it may be that your benefit has already been credited to some forgotten account or that you are not used to using it. 

The other option for releasing the balance is through the Social Digital Savings Account, where it is possible to check through Caixa Tem. Therefore, it is possible to move the balance using the account card or through internet banking and the Caixa app. 

The third way is through the citizen card, where the user goes straight to the Caixa ATM, or lottery, this is valid for PIS users. For those who have the PASEP balance, it is released directly at the Banco do Brasil account, where every civil servant receives it.

After all, how does PIS/PASEP work?

PIS is the acronym for Social Integration Program while op Pasep is the acronym for Civil Servant Heritage Formation Program.

The allowance is for everyone who worked at least 30 days in the previous year, who received a maximum of 2 minimum wages and had been registered with the PIS/PASEP for at least 5 years.

Another important point, it is fundamental that the company has informed the correct data, so the worker can receive.

And how do I know what my PIS number is?

The cool thing is that the PIS and NIS number (which is in your work permit) is the same, so you can find the PIS number in the following documents:

  • Work Card
  • FGTS extract
  • Citizen Card

or going directly to the box with documents in hand.
