The deadline for benefits review can now be requested

Workers with formal contracts and active or inactive FGTS accounts will be able to request a review of their benefits. This is because the Central Bank (BC) has opened its advisory system so that you can check if you have any withheld.

For those who have been associated with the FGTS since 1999, you can apply for a readjustment.

The FGTS audit is in fact a new calculation that is applied to the balance of the guarantee fund. The purpose is to increase the amounts received by those who have participated in the program since 1999. For these people, there will be an increase on a cash correction basis over the past few years.
