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.
