The granting of payroll loans from Auxílio Brasil is suspended from 6 pm today (21) until 7 am next Monday (24), informed Caixa Econômica Federal. According to the institution, a technological maintenance interrupted the offer.
“Dataprev and Caixa will carry out scheduled maintenance in their technological environments. As a result, the Consignado Auxílio operation will be unavailable on all channels from 6pm this Friday until 7am next Monday,” the bank said in a statement.
The decision comes on the day that the Federal Court of Auditors (TCU) must decide on a request for a precautionary measure from the Public Ministry with the TCU to suspend the offer of consigned credit from Auxílio Brasil.
Since the 11th, Caixa has been lending Auxílio Brasil payroll-deductible loans with interest of 3.45% per year. The loan, deducted directly from the benefit, can be divided into 24 months, with a minimum installment of R$15 and a maximum of 40% of the benefit amount.
Only a family member who has received Auxílio Brasil for at least 90 days and who has not failed to attend any re-registration call from the Ministry of Citizenship can have access to the credit line.
