Few people know, but there are still thousands of Brazilians with forgotten amounts in their bank accounts. PIS PASEPCreated for private sector workers and public servants, these funds accumulated deposits made by companies between 1971 and 1988. The detail is that, if you never withdrew this money, it may still be available today — and withdrawal can be requested easily.
In this content, you'll understand who's eligible, how to check your balance, and the steps to request a PIS PASEP withdrawal right now.
What is PIS PASEP?
O Social Integration Program (PIS) and the Public Servant Asset Formation Program (PASEP) were created with the idea of integrating workers into the development of the company and the public sector.
In practice, employers deposited monthly contributions into individual accounts, which were registered in the name of the workers. In 1988, these funds were unified into FGTS, but the existing quotas continued to be linked to the beneficiaries.
Many people never withdrew these amounts and, to this day, the money is available for withdrawal.
Who is entitled to withdraw?
The following values may be available:
- Workers from private companies who had a signed employment contract between 1971 and 1988.
- Public servants who contributed to PASEP in the same period.
- Heirs and dependents of deceased persons who did not withdraw their shares.
Even those who have already retired or changed their activity may have available funds.
What is the difference between PIS PASEP and salary bonus?
It is common to confuse the two benefits. salary bonus is paid every year to those who worked in the base year with a signed work contract, receiving up to two minimum wages. PIS PASEP they are old quotas, linked to the period from 1971 to 1988.
While the benefit follows an annual schedule, PIS PASEP quotas are available for withdrawal at any time.
How do I check if I am eligible?
The consultation is simple and can be done via cell phone or computer:
- PIS: verification is done through the channels of Federal Savings Bank, through the Caixa Tem app, FGTS app, Caixa website or at branches.
- PASEP: the consultation is carried out in Bank of Brazil, via the app, official website or customer service at branches.
- Gov.br: It is also possible to check whether there are values linked to the CPF through the government portal.
In all cases, simply enter your CPF, NIS or PASEP number to find out if there is a balance.
What documents are required?
If the query indicates values, it is necessary to present:
- Photo ID.
- CPF.
- Work permit (if available).
- PIS/PASEP number.
- In the case of heirs: death certificate of the holder and documents proving kinship (birth certificate, marriage certificate or inventory).
What if I have no balance?
If the query doesn't show any values, it could be that:
- You may have already made a withdrawal at some point.
- Have not worked during the period that gives you the right.
- The balance has been unified with the FGTS.
Even so, it is worth checking whether you are entitled to annual salary bonus, which is another benefit administered by Caixa.
