Brazil Begins Complementary PIS/Pasep Payout for 1.03 Million Workers

Reprocessing of employer records identified missed entitlements, with corrected amounts available for withdrawal until December 30.

Overview

  • The Ministry of Labour started paying the complementary PIS/Pasep lot on Thursday, October 15, 2026, covering 1,030,899 beneficiaries with total deposits of R$ 804.24 million.
  • Payments range from R$ 136 to R$ 1,621 and are prorated using the current minimum wage divided by 12 multiplied by months worked in 2024.
  • The complementary lot results from reprocessing employer data and corrections filed between September 1, 2025, and June 20, 2026 that found omitted workers and required recalculations.
  • Caixa Econômica Federal is handling PIS deposits for 704,398 private-sector workers and Banco do Brasil is handling Pasep deposits for 326,501 public servants, and workers can check balances via the Carteira de Trabalho Digital, Portal Emprega Brasil or phone 158.
  • This disbursement is part of a wider annual program that the government expects to pay to about 26.9 million workers totaling R$ 33.5 billion by year-end, ensuring late-identified claimants receive owed benefits before the Central Bank's withdrawal cutoff.
