With the new changes from the Federal Government, see now how you can have your FGTS withdrawal available in your account.
The Federal Government authorized the withdrawal of the FGTS, which has been available in workers' accounts since 2020.
The new regulation will benefit many families, as the amount will be available quickly, conveniently, and very simply.
The change aims to stimulate the economy, help families in need, and increase the government's popularity during this difficult period.
Find out if you have FGTS balance
The first thing you should do is check if you have a FGTS balance. This check is very simple.
By application
You can check your balance through the Caixa Econômica Federal app. If you already have the app on your phone, it's even easier.
For example, I have the app installed and a CaixaBank account. Checking my FGTS balance is very simple. Just select the option within the app.
Through the website
If you don't have the Caixa app installed on your phone, you can check your balance online by visiting the Caixa website.
It's quite simple. Go to the Caixa website and the FGTS option will appear on the main page. Just log in and fill in your details.
Remember that you'll need to have your PIS number on hand to check your FGTS balance.
By ATM
If you're having trouble checking your balance online, you can also go to an ATM.
This is an interesting option, as the bank's employees will help you check your balance and even choose what to do with it.
By the Bank
Finally, you still have the option of receiving service within the bank. The account manager has access to all your account information.
This way, you'll know all the options and possibilities and leave the bank with everything sorted out.
Right of withdrawal from the FGTS available
After checking your available balance, you can change your withdrawal option.
Like this?
A few years ago, the federal government gave workers the option to withdraw a small percentage of their balance each year, in the month of their birthday.
With this change from the Federal Government, you will be able to withdraw the full amount you have in FGTS.
In other words, you no longer need to wait until your birthday month to make a partial withdrawal; you can now request a withdrawal of the entire amount you have.
This way, you'll be entitled to all your FGTS and can use it as you see fit.
My retirement from the FGTS
As I said, I already have the app installed on my phone for my home bill and financing.
This made everything easier to do since I was already familiar with the app.
I simply logged into the app, checked my balance (and, to my delight, there was an amount), and requested my withdrawal. The bank gave me 7 days to deposit the money into my account.
After 7 days the money was already in my account (I chose my Caixa account to make everything easier).
