The payment structure follows the model consolidated in previous years. Para workers in private companies benefiting from PIS, deposits are staggered according to the month of birth. Já for public servants who receive PASEP, the criteria for releasing the amounts continues to be the final registration number in the program.

With the official announcement, workers can now use the government’s digital channels to check their eligibility and check whether their data is correctly registered. Anticipating the calendar is an important tool so that possible registration inconsistencies are identified and corrected in time, ensuring that the resource reaches those who are entitled.

Understand the criteria to be entitled to the benefit

To be eligible for the salary bonus that will be paid based on the year 2024, the worker must cumulatively meet a set of four essential requirements. Failure to comply with any of these conditions results in the loss of the right to receive the amount, which can reach the minimum wage.

The first requirement is to be registered with the PIS (for workers in private companies) or PASEP (for public servants) programs for a minimum period of five years. Adicionalmente, it is necessary to have worked with a formal contract for at least 30 days during the base year of 2024, and this period can be consecutive or intermittent.

Another fundamental point is remuneration. The worker must have received an average monthly salary of up to two minimum wages during the period in which they were employed in 2024. The calculation considers the value of the minimum wage in force in that year to determine the average.

Finally, it is essential that the worker’s data has been correctly entered by the employer in Relação Anual of Informações Sociais (RAIS) or in the eSocial system. The accuracy and sending of this information within the legal deadline are the responsibility of the contracting company or public body.

How the calculation of the amount receivable works

The value of the salary bonus is calculated proportionally to the number of months worked during the base year of 2024. The basis for this calculation is the minimum wage in force in the year of payment, which in 2026 is set at R$1,621. Para determine the amount, the value of the national minimum wage is divided by 12, resulting in a quota of R$135.08 per month worked. Este result is then multiplied by the number of months in which the professional carried out paid work.

Therefore, only workers who were formally employed during the 12 months of 2024 will be entitled to receive the full amount of R$1,621. Aqueles who worked for shorter periods will receive a proportional amount. For example, a professional who worked for six months will be entitled to R$810.50, while someone who worked for just one month will receive R$135.08. The legislation considers a full month to be the fraction of 15 days or more of work, ensuring that shorter periods are also counted.

PIS payment for private sector workers

Caixa Econômica Federal is the institution responsible for administering and paying the PIS salary bonus. The logistics for releasing amounts are organized based on the beneficiary’s month of birth, which allows for staggered distribution and avoids congestion in service channels. Workers with a current or savings account at Caixa receive the credit automatically on the stipulated date. Para the others, the amount can be transferred through digital social savings, accessible through the Caixa Tem application. Também it is possible to make withdrawals in person with Cartão Cidadão at self-service terminals, lottery outlets and Caixa Aqui correspondents, following the dates on the official calendar.

Release of PASEP for public servants

The salary bonus for civil servants and employees of public bodies, known as PASEP, is managed and paid by Banco of Brasil.

The payment methodology differs from that applied to PIS, using the final digit of the server’s registration number in the program as a criterion to define the date for releasing the resource.

Servers who are Banco and Brasil account holders have the advantage of receiving the amount directly into their accounts, automatically and without the need for any additional action.

Those who do not have an account with the institution can transfer the amount to another bank they own via TED, free of charge, through self-service terminals or through the bank’s website. Outra option is to withdraw in person at any Banco or Brasil branch, upon presentation of an official identification document with photo.

Main consultation and eligibility verification channels

The main tool for workers to check their right to a salary bonus is the Carteira application from Trabalho Digital, available for smartphones. Após log in with the account Gov.br, the user can access the “Benefits” tab and select “Abono

In addition to the application, Portal Gov.br also offers consultation functionality. Para clarification of doubts and additional information, workers can use the Alô Trabalho call center, by calling 158, which works as a direct channel with Ministério of Trabalho and Emprego.

The fundamental role of the employer in guaranteeing the bonus

Ensuring that the worker receives the salary bonus depends directly on the correct actions of the employer. It is the sole responsibility of the company or public body to send accurate and punctual labor information through Relação Anual of Informações Sociais (RAIS) or the eSocial system, which feeds the government database.

Any error in filling out or delay in sending the declarations may prevent the system from recognizing the worker’s right. Caso a professional finds that he was not qualified due to an inconsistency in the data, the first step is to contact the Recursos Humanos department of the company where he worked in 2024 to request rectification.

Important deadlines for withdrawing the resource

It is essential that all beneficiaries pay attention not only to the payment start date, but also to the deadline for withdrawing the salary bonus. Conforme the program rules, the amounts are available for withdrawal until the last business day of December of the payment year. Caso the worker does not make the withdrawal within this period, the resource is automatically returned to Fundo from Amparo to Trabalhador (FAT), and the beneficiary loses the right to the amount for that base year.
