That's because everything happens digitally. Simply access the FGTS app, check the available funds released through some of the available options, and initiate the withdrawal request.
To do this, you just need to inform the bank of an account you own, regardless of the institution.
Who can make a digital withdrawal of FGTS?
The functionality is aimed at all citizens who fall under one of the FGTS withdrawal modalities provided for by law and, in addition, have an amount released for withdrawal.
See some of the following situations:
- Dismissal without just cause by the employer;
- Retirement;
- Termination of fixed-term contract;
- Death of the worker;
- HIV carrier;
- Age 70 or over;
- Personal, urgent and serious need, resulting from a natural disaster caused by rain or floods that have hit the worker's area of residence;
- Purchase of a home, settlement or amortization of debt or payment of part of the installments of a housing loan;
- Suspension of casual work, among others.
How is the digital withdrawal carried out?
You need to download the FGTS app on your cell phone or device that has the system Android or IOs installed. Then, simply log in to the platform using your personal information to check the amounts available for withdrawal.
From there, simply designate an account at Caixa Econômica or any other bank to receive the funds. All this is done without any additional costs.
The funds will be available within 5 business days of the request. Through the FGTS app, workers can also upload the necessary documents and track the cash withdrawal process in real time.
