Say goodbye to financial stress! Learn how to renegotiate and increase your FGTS

The FGTS (Fund for Guaranteed Service Time) Birthday Withdrawal allows workers to access up to 50% of the amount available in their accounts annually. However, with this annual withdrawal, the available balance tends to decrease over the years, which can be a problem in emergency situations. Fortunately, there are strategies to renegotiate the use of this withdrawal and, ultimately, increase the accumulated FGTS balance.

How does the FGTS Birthday Draw work?

Before exploring renegotiation strategies, it’s important to understand how annual withdrawals work. Each year, an employee can choose to withdraw up to 50% of the available balance in their FGTS account. However, this decision can negatively impact your overall balance over time. To overcome this, it’s important to consider some alternatives.

How to renegotiate FGTS birthday withdrawal?

One of the main criticisms of the Christmas withdrawal is the gradual reduction of the FGTS balance. The Minister of Labor, Luiz Mariño, stressed that this annual reduction could lead to insufficient funds in times of dire need. Therefore, it is necessary to understand how to renegotiate the use of this benefit to maximize its efficiency.

What are the renegotiation options for FGTS?

For those who want to maximize the full value of FGTS, there are two main options:

1. Christmas Draw Cancellation:
   • One way to maintain and increase your FGTS balance is to forgo a withdrawal on your birthday. By doing so, Caixa Econômica Federal stops disbursing the annual premium, allowing the amounts deposited by the employer to accumulate in the worker’s account. After two years of withdrawal, it is possible to obtain a cancellation of the withdrawal.
   • How to withdraw from the Christmas draw:
     • Access the application FGTS And log in.
     • Under “More”, select “Withdrawal method”.
     • Select “Finish Withdrawal”.
     • Agree to the terms and complete the transaction.
2. Negotiating a Christmas Loan Anticipation Drawdown:
   • Anyone who has chosen to take out a FGTS Birthday Advance Loan can renegotiate the terms of this loan. If you have taken out a loan for a long period, for example, 10 years, it is possible that your birthday withdrawal portion will be blocked during that period. To increase the amount charged annually, the worker may take into account the following:
     • Contact the bank where the loan was made.
     • Request debt negotiation.
     • Advance payment installments.
