Private company worker receives through Caixa

Workers from private companies who are entitled to the PIS (Social Integration Program) allowance receive the amounts from Caixa Econômica Federal. The payment started last week, on Tuesday (8). According to data from Caixa, from the 8th to this Tuesday (15th), PIS installments were paid to 5 million workers, totaling R$ 4.5 billion released.

The bank says that the payments of the allowance are preferably made through account credit, including digital social savings, operated by Caixa Tem without the need to go to a branch to make withdrawals.

To receive the allowance, the worker must have been registered with PIS/Pasep for at least five years, have received an average monthly salary of up to two minimum wages during the base year, which is 2020, have worked with a formal contract for at least at least 30 consecutive days and have your data correctly informed by the employer on Rais.

See the PIS payment schedule

The PIS/Pasep allowance must be paid to 23 million Brazilians. Of the total, 22 million will receive PIS, which represents an amount of R$ 19.5 billion. Banco do Brasil releases the money to over 1 million beneficiaries. In all, R$ 21.82 billion are paid.

Caixa says that, as of this year, the bank will only act as a paying agent for the benefit forwarded on the payroll by the Ministry of Labor and Social Security and will no longer manage the amounts.

The query to find out if you will have the money can be done on the Caixa Tem and Caixa Trabalhador apps, in addition to the Caixa service by phone, on 0800-7260207. It is also possible to consult the Digital Work Card application, on the portal www.gov.br or by calling 158.

Payment changed last year

Payment of PIS/Pasep was made between July of one year and the next. However, in March 2021, Codefat (Deliberative Council of the Fundo de Amparo ao Trabalhador) decided to change the calendar, which became annual.

The salary bonus is different from the PIS/Pasep quotas, which are due to beneficiaries who worked between 1971 and 1988 and did not withdraw the amounts, as well as their heirs, if applicable.
