Learn how to get the PIS number to check the FGTS

Caixa Econômica Federal released, on Friday (8), the consultation of the extraordinary withdrawal of up to R$ 1,000 from the FGTS (Fundo de Garantia do Tempo de Serviço). The service is available on the FGTS application and on the website fgts.caixa.gov.br.

To find out if you have a FGTS account balance, if you will receive the amounts and how much you can withdraw, the citizen must make the query informing the CPF or PIS (Social Integration Program).

The number, which every worker has, can be found both on the front page of the Social Security Work Card and on the Citizen Card, issued by Caixa, as well as on government digital portals.
