Brazil PIS/Pasep and FGTS fund distributions

Overview

The Brazilian government concluded the regular 2026 PIS/Pasep salary bonus payment schedule in August, targeting workers born in November and December. For this cycle, approximately 26.9 million workers were eligible for a total of R$ 33.5 billion. A recent fiscal reorganization, following Constitutional Amendment No. 135/2024, changed the income ceiling calculation from a multiple of the minimum wage to an adjustment based on inflation (IPCA/INPC), a move intended to limit government spending. For the 2026 cycle, the monthly average salary limit is R$ 2,766, with a projected increase to R$ 2,873.87 for 2027.

Regarding historical PIS/Pasep quotas from the fund extinct in 2020, Caixa Econômica Federal began releasing payments on September 25, 2026, for those who submitted reimbursement requests by the August 31 deadline. These payments, which average between R$ 2.8 thousand and R$ 2.9 thousand, target workers or public servants employed between 1971 and 1988. A subsequent batch of payments for these historical quotas is scheduled for October 26. Individuals who missed the initial window have until September 2028 to request these funds.

In mid-October, the Ministry of Labor and Employment (MTE) released a complementary batch of the PIS/Pasep wage bonus for the 2024 base year, injecting approximately R$ 804.24 million. This benefited 1,030,899 workers—comprising 704,398 private sector workers via Caixa Econômica Federal and 326,501 public servants via Banco do Brasil—following data reprocessing of employer information corrected via the eSocial system. These funds remain available for withdrawal until December 30, 2026.
