Caixa Econômica Federal maintains specific rules for the release of amounts considered low in Fundo of Garantia of Tempo of Serviço, known as residual withdrawals. The procedure allows citizens with up to R$80.00 in linked accounts to withdraw the amount in full.

Prolonged inactivity accelerates the right to full receipt of the amounts deposited, regardless of the ceiling stipulated for the residual modality. Quando the professional remains for three consecutive years without a contract governed by Consolidação of Leis of Trabalho, total withdrawal is authorized immediately.
