The extraordinary FGTS withdrawal is the new modality for workers who wish to withdraw a part of their Guarantee Fund for length of service in 2022. See how it works and who is entitled to it.
What this article covers:
Unlike the anniversary withdrawal, the extraordinary FGTS is a single withdrawal of up to R$ 1,000.00 per CPF, that is, even if you have a larger balance in your accounts, it will only be possible to withdraw up to the limit amount. The extraordinary withdrawal does not interfere with other withdrawal methods unless your account is reset to zero.

If the worker has more than one FGTS account, the withdrawal starts with the accounts in which the employment contract has already been terminated and which have the lowest balance. If the balance in the FGTS account is a guarantee for the anniversary withdrawal loan, it will be blocked and the worker will not be entitled to the extraordinary FGTS withdrawal.
The balance available for the extraordinary FGTS withdrawal and the date of availability can be consulted in the FGTS app for free, it is available for Android and IOS devices and you just need to log in with your CPF and password.
Every worker who has a balance in their active and inactive accounts until the date of release of the benefit.
