Were you born in June or July and don't have a Caixa account? You can now withdraw your FGTS

Caixa Econômica Federal continues to release withdrawals from the Severance Indemnity Fund (FGTS) for Brazilian workers. Starting this Friday, the 22nd, people who were born between June and July will be able to withdraw up to 500 reais from their account. It can be active (from a current job) or inactive (from past jobs). If you have more than one account, you can withdraw up to 500 reais from each one. It is important to make it clear that people who were born between January and May can still withdraw your FGTS. Caixa started releasing this money in September and will finish calling all groups by Christmas.

At ATMs, you must inform your CPF number and password for your Citizen Card. At Caixa agencies, on the other hand, you must present your identity document. Finally, at Caixa Aqui Correspondents, you must indicate your CPF number, your Citizen Card and your card password.

It is worth mentioning that, to avoid overcrowding, Caixa Econômica branches are always opening earlier in this FGTS withdrawal period. The exceptions are those that open at 8am, which are now closing an hour later. If you want to make your service even faster, it is important that you bring your work card as it may be necessary to update some data.

If you have a savings account, the amount has already been transferred to it automatically. If you do not want to use it, you must report this to Caixa by April 30, 2020.
