In 2019, the government released the FGTS birthday withdrawal - Severance Indemnity Fund, a way to inject money, heating up the economy. The first withdrawals started in early 2020, and now in 2021, the Caixa Econômica Federal, made available the new calendar, which will be based on each worker's date of birth.
In the last round of payments, almost 10 million workers, opted for withdrawal. It is worth mentioning that this benefit is optional, therefore, it is up to the worker to indicate that he wants to withdraw birthday FGTS.
How the FGTS Anniversary Withdrawal will work
It will be possible to withdraw just a part of FGTS, therefore, the Ministry of Economy developed withdrawal percentage criteria, according to the account of FGTS of each citizen. Check it out below:
| FGTS balance (R$) | % of Withdrawal | Additional Installment |
| Up to R$500 | 50% | – |
| R$ 500.01 to R$ 1,000 | 40% | R$ 50 |
| R$ 1,000.01 to R$ 5,000 | 30% | R$ 150 |
| R$ 5,000.01 to R$ 10,000 | 20% | R$ 650 |
| R$ 10,000.01 to R$ 15,000 | 15% | R$ 1,150 |
| R$ 15,000.01 to R$ 20,000 | 10% | R$ 1,900 |
| Above R$ 20,000.01 | 5% | R$ 2,900 |
