PIS/PASEP and FGTS: How to withdraw the amounts from deceased employees?
Advertisement
Withdrawals from FGTS accounts can only be made in the cases provided for in Law 8,036/90, which provides for the Guarantee Fund. Some of the most well-known FGTS withdrawal situations include unfair dismissal, purchase of housing, serious illness, calamity withdrawal and others.
Other withdrawals will be released on time, such as the extraordinary FGTS of up to R$ 1,000 approved by the government in April this year, or the withdrawal due to inactivity of the FGTS account for 3 years, unknown to many workers.
FGTS withdrawal in case of death of the holder
One of the situations provided for by law in which the Guarantee Fund can be withdrawn is the bankruptcy of the holder. In this case, relatives have the right to withdraw the resources linked to the holder's FGTS account and can request it through the FGTS application or at a Caixa branch.
Documents to request the withdrawal of the deceased employee's FGTS:
- Identification document;
- PIS/PASEP/FGTS certificate issued by Social Security containing the list of dependents entitled to a death pension, informing the name of the deceased worker, PIS/PASEP/CPF number, date of death, benefit number, full name and date birth date of dependents; or
- Declaration of dependent beneficiaries of the pension paid by the Single Legal Regime, obtained by the pension paying body.
Via the App
- When accessing the FGTS App, go to “My Withdrawals”;
- Select the option “Other Withdrawal Situations”;
- Select the withdrawal reason “Death of Employee”;
- Read the information about the deadlines and necessary documents and click on “Request FGTS Withdrawals”;
- Provide the name of the deceased worker, CPF and PIS/PASEP;
- Send the requested documents;
- Check the attached documents and confirm.
To request the withdrawal of funds in person at a Caixa branch, the worker must present an identification document and declaration of dependents signed by an official Federal, Provincial or Municipal Social Security body, or Declaration of dependents eligible for the pension, issued by the paying body of the pension funded by the Single Legal Regime, with the signature of the competent authority.
PIS/PASEP has a withdrawal of R$ 24 billion available
Caixa Econômica Federal recently announced that around 10 million workers will be able to withdraw forgotten PIS/PASEP amounts. The resources are available to individuals who worked with a formal contract between 1971 and 1988.
The withdrawal value will be around R$ 2,300 for each worker, but it depends on the length of time they worked in the formal market between 1971 and 1988. “If it was only for one year, the balance will be lower, if for the entire period, the balance will be higher. It depends on the employee's salary at the time, hours worked and corrections“, explained Edilson Carrogi, vice-president of the Caixa Operating Agent.
The query to remove forgotten PIS/Pasep can be done through the FGTS app. When logging into the app, the message “You have a withdrawal available” will appear to notify Brazilians who are eligible for the benefit.
To withdraw the funds, simply click on the message and then click on “Request PIS/PASEP Withdrawal”. Choose the withdrawal method (account credit or in person), review the data and click “Confirm withdrawal”. The amounts will be deposited into the bank account of any institution indicated by the worker.
