Release batches start February 15th

The allowance now released is for the year 2021. According to the Ministry of Labor and Employment, 22.9 million workers will benefit, 20.4 million of whom are entitled to PIS and another 2.5 million to Pasep, totaling about Rs. $22 billion.

The allowance release batches begin on February 15th and continue until July 17th. PIS is paid at Caixa, for those who worked in private companies in 2021 and fit the program rules. Pasep, on the other hand, is released by Banco do Brasil for workers of public companies, such as civil servants and employees of state-owned companies, in addition to military personnel. The deadline to withdraw the amount ends on December 28, 2023.

The allowance is up to BRL 1,302 and varies according to the number of months worked during the base year of 2021. The amount of the benefit is calculated considering 1/12 of the minimum wage multiplied by the number of months worked. If the beneficiary worked throughout the reference year, he will receive a minimum wage. If you worked two months in 2021, you will receive R$ 217, for example.

According to the Ministry of Labor and Employment, Law 7998/1990 determines that upon payment, amounts will be rounded to the immediately subsequent unit. As 1/12 of the minimum wage amounts to R$ 108.50, whoever is entitled to this amount will receive R$ 109. The same occurs with other amounts with broken cents.
