Overview
- The claim window for the current PIS/Pasep lot, which closed on Wednesday, September 30, covers requests that Caixa will pay on October 26 for arrivals by that deadline.
- Workers who had formal employment and public servants from 1971–1988 and their legal heirs can check balances on the Repis Cidadão portal using a gov.br account at prata or ouro level.
- Claims may be submitted via the FGTS app’s “Ressarcimento PIS/Pasep” option or in person at Caixa agencies, and Caixa forwards requests to the Ministry of Finance for authorization before payment.
- About R$26.3 billion tied to roughly 10.5 million people remains unclaimed with average restitutions near R$2,800–R$2,900, and amounts are updated by the IPCA-15 index from account closure to the month before payment.
- A phased calendar lets claimants submit later monthly lots through December 2026 and until the final cutoff in September 2028, after which unclaimed funds will be lost to the Treasury so heirs must present specific documentation to succeed.
