What is the Extraordinary FGTS Withdrawal?

Recently created, the Extraordinary Withdrawal is a type of credit that offers workers the possibility of withdrawing part of the FGTS balance available in their Caixa account.

This type of credit can generally be withdrawn every year, in the month of the applicant's birthday, however, this year the dates were brought forward, meaning workers will be able to receive it sooner.

Who will be entitled?

The credit will be released to all workers who have a balance in the FGTS, that is, it will be available for both active and inactive accounts.

How to check the price?

To check the amount, you'll need to download the Caixa Tem app or visit the Caixa Econômica website. See below:

Through the app

If you prefer to check your balance through the app, the applicant must access the app store on their smartphone and install the app on their cell phone.

After installation, simply log in with your CPF and password, but if you do not have a registration, you will need to create an account.

Once the account is created, simply find the “Extraordinary FGTS Withdrawal” option in the Caixa Tem app and check the available amount.

Through the website

To check the amount on the website, you must access the Caixa Econômica Federal website and search for the option “Extraordinary FGTS Withdrawal”.

Just like the app, if you don't have an account, you'll need to register.

But for beneficiaries who already have a registration, simply log in, you will need to provide your CPF or PIS number, and for security reasons, a security code will be sent to your cell phone to validate access.

How to redeem the amount?

Redeeming the amount is very simple and can be done entirely online. The beneficiary must access the app or FGTS website, which there will be an option “add a bank account for transfer”

Once the account is added, the amount will be available for withdrawal within five business days.

If you choose to leave the money in your Caixa Tem account, you can also move and use it however you like. Check it out:

• Make TEDs to other accounts and banks;

What happens if I don't withdraw the amount?

Any amounts not withdrawn by the deadline will be returned to the workers' accounts with the corrected amount. So, if you don't intend to withdraw the available funds, don't worry.

The dates for the Extraordinary FGTS Withdrawal have already been set, based on the beneficiary's birthday month, with the exception of the first three months of the year, in which the dates were set for April. See below:
