The government presented to Codefat (Council for the Development of the Fundo de Amparo ao Trabalhador​) the proposal for the 2022 PIS/Pasep allowance calendar, according to council members. After a change in the release system in March 2021, the payment of the salary allowance for 2020 was postponed to this year.

In the calendar proposed by the government, which was confirmed by Força Sindical and UGT (General Union of Workers), the payment of PIS (Social Integration Program) starts on February 8, for workers born in January, and continues with new releases until March 31, when the deposit is made for those born in December. In the proposed calendar for the Pasep (Public Servant Asset Formation Program) allowance, paid to public servants, releases range from February 15th to March 24th, according to the registration number. The deadline for withdrawing the salary bonus ends on December 29, 2022 for all beneficiaries.

Wanted on the night of this Wednesday (5), the Ministry of Labor and Welfare did not respond to the report.

According to Sérgio Luiz Leite, representative of Força Sindical in Codefat, the calendar proposal presented by the government will be submitted to a vote of the council members until this Friday (7). To start in earnest, approval of the calendar is mandatory in Codefat, which brings together representatives of workers, employers and the government. For Leite, concentrating payments in the first half of 2022, as proposed now, meets the claim made by the centrals when the government delayed the schedule for releasing the allowance.

Government figures indicate that 23.08 million workers will be entitled to the allowance, totaling R$ 21.046 billion, according to Canindé Pegado, a member of Codefat and a representative of UGT.

According to the UGT representative, there is still the possibility of early payment of the salary bonus, for January 27, 2022, to workers with employers in the municipalities in an emergency situation, duly declared by the Ministry of Regional Development, through the ordinance 3,115 of 12/10/21, in the state of Minas Gerais, and ordinance 3,123 of 12/10/21, in the state of Bahia.

Who is entitled to the allowance?

Employees who have been enrolled in the program for at least five years and who have formally worked for at least 30 days in the base year of 2020 are entitled to the PIS salary allowance in 2022. To be entitled, the average monthly remuneration must be up to two salaries minimums. In addition, the employer must have correctly informed the employee’s data in the Rais (Annual Social Information Report).

Payment of the PIS allowance, due to workers with a formal contract, is made by Caixa, and that of Pasep, due to employees who fit the program’s rules, is released at Banco do Brasil.

The change in the payment system is contained in the Codefat resolution 896, of March 23, 2021, which establishes that the allowance will be paid according to the annual calendar, to be approved by the council in January 2022. Before, deposits had releases of July of one year to June of the following year.

The allowance calculation considers 1/12 of the minimum wage valid on the date of payment, multiplied by the number of months worked in the corresponding year, rounded up, according to the Ministry of Labor and Social Security.

If the beneficiary worked all year 2020, he will receive a minimum wage, which in 2022 is R$ 1,212. If you worked one month, you will receive R$ 101. Fractions of 15 days or more are considered 30 days.

The salary bonus is different from the PIS/Pasep quotas, due to citizens who worked between 1971 and 1988 and who have not yet withdrawn the money.
