Caixa releases salary bonus to workers born in November

Private sector workers born in November receive today (29) the salary allowance base year 2020. Caixa Econômica Federal started the payment on February 8 and will continue with the release until March 31, based on the beneficiary’s month of birth.

The allowance of up to one minimum wage is paid to workers enrolled in the Social Integration Program (PIS) or in the Public Servant Asset Formation Program (Pasep) for at least five years. Those who worked formally for at least 30 days in 2020 receive the allowance now, with an average monthly salary of up to two minimum wages.

The benefit is not paid to domestic workers. This is because the salary bonus requires an employment relationship with a company, not with another individual. Young apprentices are also not entitled.

The amounts paid to each worker vary according to the number of days worked during the 2020 base year.

About 22 million workers should receive the benefit, with a total value of more than R$ 20 billion. The resources are from the Worker Support Fund (FAT).

Caixa informed that the credit will be automatically deposited for those who have a bank account. The other beneficiaries will receive the amounts through Digital Social Savings, which can be moved through the Caixa Tem app.

If it is not possible to open the digital account, the withdrawal can be made with the Citizen Card and password at self-service terminals, lottery units, Caixa Aqui or branches, always according to the payment schedule.

For beneficiaries residing in the municipalities of Bahia, Minas Gerais and Rio de Janeiro in emergency situationdue to heavy rains, the payment was released on February 8, regardless of the month of birth.
