PIS / Pasep calendar, value, rules and who to receive in 2022

After a long wait of at least six months, the federal government is back with the PIS/Pasep bonus payment in the next few days. With the news of the return of subsidy payments, some important points were also clarified.

New payment calendar

Before we get into the new pay schedule, we need to contextualize some changes to Codefat (Workers Assistance Fund Advisory Board) responsible for managing the salary bonus funds.

This is because, until last year, PIS/Pasep payments started in July of one year and ended in June of the following year, however, as of Resolution 896, Codefat specified that payments should now be made in the same year to all beneficiaries.

Thus, the new payment schedule set by the federal government for 2022 is as follows:

Pasep . calendar

attention! It is important to clarify that the calendar prepared by the government has been submitted to Codefat, which will determine the validity or possible changes in relation to the new payment schedule.

Who is Eligible for PIS / Pasep Allowance in 2022

You are entitled to PIS/Pasep Salary Allowance this year, only workers who have exercised a formal contract throughout 2020 and for whom the following rules apply:

• Worked on an official contract for at least 30 days in 2020;
• Have a work permit for at least 5 years;
• Correctly submit data by companies through RAIS (Annual Social Information Report).

Payment of the PIS allowance owed to workers in the private sector and carried out by Caixa Econômica Federal. Pasep allowance is paid to public officials and is provided by Banco do Brasil.

The change to the payment system was included in Resolution 896 that Codefat published in March 2021, which specifies that the provision is paid on the same annual calendar that will be issued in January.

Salary allowance amount 2022

The PIS/Pasep salary allowance will be paid in an amount up to the applicable minimum wage, i.e. R$1,212.00. It is worth noting that you are entitled to a full salary, only those who worked within 12 months of 2020.

Workers who have exercised a formal contract for a shorter period in 2020 will receive the amount proportional to the number of months worked.

The calculation to be determined is simple, just divide 1212 (one salary) by 12 (twelve months of the year) and multiply it by the number of working months. If in doubt, consult the table below:

How is the allowance for those who worked in 2021

Workers who worked last year and were expecting, unfortunately, took a cold shower. This is due to the postponement of payment for this group of beneficiaries until 2023.

Therefore, we will have a two-year gap between the payment of each benefit for the base year. Given that PIS/Pasep 2020 payments were for 2022, PIS/Pasep 2021 was for 2023, and so should PIS/Pasep 2022 for 2024.

Altitudes PIS / Pasep
