Residents of three municipalities in the Northeast, South and Southeast affected by floods and storms last semester need to be aware. The deadline for withdrawing up to R$ 6,220 from the Severance Indemnity Fund (FGTS) in these locations ends this week.
The deadline for withdrawal ends this Sunday (16) in Pilar (AL) and Cordilheira Alta (SC). The municipality of Alagoas was affected by floods in July. The city of Santa Catarina was hit by a hailstorm at the end of June.
Next Thursday (20), will be the deadline for residents of Petrópolis (RJ) to withdraw the money. In February and March, the municipality had the worst flooding in 10 years, which killed about 240 people.
Next Sunday (23), the deadline for the calamity loot in Curitibanos (SC) will end. Residents of Joinville (SC), hit by storms in early August, will be able to withdraw the money until December 11.
The calamity looting is only valid for residents of areas recognized by the local Civil Defense as affected by the disasters. Withdrawal can be requested through the FGTS application. The worker just needs to open the application and choose the option “Meus Saques”, without the need to go to an agency.
The documents – photo of identity document and proof of residence in the name of the worker up to 120 days before the disaster – can be sent through the application itself.
If the proof of residence is in the name of the spouse, it will also be necessary to send a marriage certificate or public deed of stable union. The document can also be included in the application.
When requesting the withdrawal, the worker can indicate the credit in a Caixa account or any other bank to receive the values, at no cost. The deadline for returning the analysis and crediting the account, if the withdrawal is approved, is five working days.
More information can be obtained from site or contact Caixa at 0800-726-0207.
*Article changed at 20:47 to correct information. Unlike what was published, the deadline ends this Sunday (16) and not today (14) as previously informed.
