This amount, also called emergency withdrawal, is a measure adopted by the Federal Government in an attempt to reduce the impacts on the economy caused by the new coronavirus.
How will it work?
According to official information that was released, the resources will be made available in the old accounts of those who are currently employed.
In addition, the amount will also be available in inactive accounts, which are those of workers who were previously employed.
Regarding FGTS amounts, they can reach up to a minimum wage (1,045.00).
Therefore, the current payment period will begin on June 15th and will run until December 31st, 2020.
The FGTS withdrawal schedule has not yet been released by Caixa Econômica Federal.
However, as mentioned, the start date has already been set, which will begin on June 15th and end in December 2020.
According to the Provisional Measure, there will be a withdrawal order for workers who have more than one active FGTS account.
Therefore, the first withdrawals will be from accounts linked to terminated jobs and which have the lowest available balance.
Then, workers with active accounts, which have a low balance, will be able to make withdrawals.
However, anyone who prefers not to make the emergency withdrawal must notify Caixa by August 30th.
This is because, if the decision is not communicated, the amount will be automatically deposited into the worker's savings account.
How do I check my FGTS balance?
It is possible to check the balance to find out whether the worker can withdraw FGTS.
To do this, simply enter the Caixa Econômica Federal website or download the FGTS app on your cell phone, which is available at Google Play and in AppStore.
Therefore, when entering the application, the worker will be asked to enter the NISS number (Social Identification number) or CPF.
After filling it out, you must go to the “Register Password” option.
On the Caixa website, in turn, you will also need to enter your NIS number and CPF and then register your password.
Finally, once you have completed this initial registration, simply log in and create an 8-digit password, which must contain letters and numbers.
From there, you can check your balance to see if you can withdraw your FGTS.
