The federal government releases this Wednesday (15) a new batch of PIS/Pasep salary bonus payments for the base year 2024. The deposit schedule now includes private sector workers and public servants whose birthdays are in March and April. The amounts can reach a minimum wage per beneficiary, depending on the length of service recorded throughout the reference year.

The release of resources occurs in a staggered manner and continues until the end of the first semester, although the deadline for withdrawing the amounts has been set for December 30, 2026. Este batch represents the continuity of the calendar started in February, which already served those born in January and February. Caixa Econômica Federal and Banco of Brasil are the financial agents responsible for distributing the amounts to eligible workers.

Requirements for receiving the salary bonus

To guarantee access to the benefit in 2026, citizens must meet strict eligibility criteria established by Ministério, Trabalho and Emprego. The main financial requirement is that the worker’s average monthly remuneration in the base year of 2024 must not exceed the value of R$2,765.93. Além Furthermore, the formal employment relationship must have been carried out for at least 30 days, consecutive or not, during the calculation period.

Another fundamental point concerns the registration time in the program. The worker must be registered with PIS or Pasep for at least five years to be entitled to the withdrawal. The government also requires that companies have sent their employees’ information correctly and within the legal deadline via Relação Anual, Informações Sociais (RAIS) or eSocial. Sem this update by the employer, the benefit is not released to the employee’s CPF.

Consultation of amounts and deposit calendar

Workers who wish to check whether they are entitled to the deposit and the exact amount to receive can use official digital channels. The consultation is available through the application Carteira of Trabalho Digital, which contains the payment history and the current status of the benefit. Também it is possible to carry out the verification through the gov.br portal, using the silver or gold account for security authentication.

  • Born in January:Pagamento on February 15
  • Born in February:Pagamento on March 15
  • Born in March and April:Pagamento on April 15
  • Born in May and June:Pagamento on May 15
  • Born in July and August:Pagamento on June 15
  • Born in September and October:Pagamento on July 15
  • Born in November and December:Pagamento on August 15

The value of the bonus is calculated proportionally to the time worked in 2024. Cada month of service with a formal contract is equivalent to 1/12 of the current minimum wage. Portanto, only those who worked the full 12 months of the base year are entitled to the full amount of the national minimum wage. Aqueles who worked shorter periods receive a fractional amount, which is automatically deposited for those who have an account with official banks or via Caixa Tem for other cases in the private sector.

Differences between PIS and Pasep at the time of withdrawal

The distribution of money varies depending on the sector in which the professional works. Programa of Integração Social (PIS) is aimed at workers in private companies and is managed by Caixa Econômica Federal. Withdrawals can be made with Cartão of Cidadão at ATMs or agencies. Já or Programa of Formação of Patrimônio of Servidor Público (Pasep) is intended for public servants, military personnel and employees of state-owned companies, and is operated by Integração Social0 of Integração Social1.

For servers linked to Pasep, payment is usually made through credit to a current or savings account for customers of Banco or Brasil. Quem does not have an account at the institution, you can transfer the amounts to other banks via TED or make the withdrawal in person at the service counters, presenting an official identification document with a photo. It is important that the beneficiary pays attention to the deadlines, as after December 30, 2026, unwithdrawn amounts will be returned to Fundo from Amparo to Trabalhador (FAT).

The expectation of Ministério of Trabalho is that millions of Brazilians will be included in this new batch, injecting resources into the national economy during the month of April. The government reinforces that there is no need to pay fees to carry out the consultation or withdraw the benefit, warning against scams and false messages that circulate on social networks requesting bank details or passwords from workers to supposedly release extra amounts.
