In 2021, more than 9.5 million Brazilians opted for this withdrawal method and they will have up to 3 months to access the money, counting from their birthday.
Therefore, those born in March, for example, can withdraw funds until May. Therefore, it's essential to pay attention to the calendar to ensure you don't miss the withdrawal deadline.
Caixa Econômica Federal announced that it will pay R$1.2 billion to INSS contributors throughout Brazil.
Regarding the amount released, a fixed amount is added to the fixed installment each year, depending on the amount available in the employee's account. The release begins on the first business day of the month of the employee's birthday and ends three months later, on the last business day of the following month.
If the amount isn't withdrawn from the FGTS account, it's returned. So, check the calendar!
