Overview
- To qualify, workers must have at least five years of PIS/Pasep registration, have worked a minimum of 30 days in 2025, earned on average up to two minimum wages, and have employer data correctly submitted via eSocial.
- Payouts are proportional to months worked, with the full amount capped at one minimum wage; coverage cites a maximum of R$ 1,518,00 for those with 12 months of work in the 2025 base year.
- Caixa Econômica Federal handles payments to private‑sector workers (PIS) and Banco do Brasil serves public employees (Pasep), with credits posted to accounts or available for withdrawal in branches and via digital services such as Caixa Tem.
- The 2026 disbursement is expected to begin in July and will follow a schedule tied to the worker’s birth month (PIS) or final registration digit (Pasep).
- The official payment calendar is set to be released by the government later in December, enabling beneficiaries to confirm dates and channels for receipt.
