Therefore, the emergency withdrawal of the FGTS will use the balances of active accounts (of those currently employed) and the balance of inactive accounts (from previous jobs).
Therefore, each worker will be able to use their balance to withdraw up to R$ 1,045.00, which is the current minimum wage.
Therefore, withdrawals will follow the same dynamics as other FGTS withdrawals, where the payment order will be staggered according to the month of birth of the worker.
How do I check the released FGTS balance?
It is important to check your balance to know when you will receive it.
To do this, there are a few paths to follow:
1 – On the website Federal Savings Bank
- Enter your CPF or NIS number or click on “register password”;
- Read the rules and click “I accept”;
- Fill in the requested data and create a password;
- Once done, log in;
- In the upper left corner, click on “check balance” and then on “immediate withdrawal FGTS”;
- Finally, you will be directed to another page where you must fill in the requested data to access the balance.
2 – FGTS Application
The app is available for download on the App Store, Google Play or Windows Store.
- Click on “register” and fill out the form;
- Click on “I’m not a robot” and then “register”;
- A confirmation email will be sent;
- In the application, answer the additional questions to confirm your registration;
- Accept the terms and that's it.
How will the FGTS payment be calculated?
The withdrawal will be limited to R$ 1,045.00, regardless of whether the worker has active or inactive accounts.
Therefore, if the worker has a limit lower than R$ 1,045.00 in the FGTS account, he or she can withdraw that entire amount.
However, if the worker has more than one account, the withdrawal of the amount will follow the following logic:
- First, withdraw from the inactive account with the lowest value;
- After the highest value inactive account;
- After the account is active.
