There are two groups that will be entitled to the special withdrawal of the FGTS in April. Caixa Econômica Federal announced that, as of the 20th, each worker will be free to withdraw up to R$ 1,000, both from active and inactive accounts, in the Guarantee Fund. The measure will benefit more than 42 million Brazilians who will be able to redeem the money in a new round of emergency exits. Know more!

How does the extraordinary withdrawal work?
As this is a special withdrawal, this approach must be authorized by the government. For this reason, President Jair Bolsonaro issued Provisional Measure No. 1,105, published in the Official Gazette at the end of March. In addition, it is the MP that determines the value limit, withdrawal schedule and order of the accounts from which the FGTS balances originate.
The FGTS withdrawal is part of a series of economic recovery measures introduced by the government. As in previous years, such as 2019 and 2020, the government released the withdrawal of part of the balance for the same purpose.
In 2021, workers were waiting for the measure, mainly due to the crisis caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, but the government decided not to release the withdrawal of value.
Extraordinary FGTS Withdrawal Dates
Caixa released the complete schedule for extraordinary FGTS withdrawals in 2022. The bank will release amounts to new groups on Wednesdays and Saturdays starting April 20, with deposits completed by June 15.
See which groups will receive the FGTS until May 18:
- April 20th – Withdrawal available for those born in January;
- April 30th - Withdrawal released for people born in February.
- May 04th – Withdrawal available for those born in March;
- may 11 - Withdrawal released for those born in April;
- May 14th – Withdrawal available for those born in May;
- May 18th – Withdrawal released for those born in June.
The FGTS 2022 payment schedule runs until June, and then Caixa will make payments to other groups. From this, looting will be released from the last three groups of the calendar (October, November and December birthdays).
Withdrawal form
For workers with balances in multiple fund accounts, the government has set the following withdrawal orders:
- Initially, the values of the accounts referring to terminated employment contracts will be considered, starting with the account with the lowest balance;
- Then the money will be distributed to the other linked accounts, starting with the account with the lowest balance.
