“Government to Provide Extra Money in April through PIS/Pasep Abono Salarial”

In 2021, individuals who worked formally in Brazil received great news from the federal government: they will receive extra money in their accounts in April thanks to the PIS/Pasep wage bonus. Payments for the bonus started in February and will continue through July. Each employee of a private company or public servant who meets the requirements can redeem up to minimum wage of benefit, which is R$ 1,320. To qualify, individuals must adhere to the following rules:

– Worked for at least 30 days, consecutive or not, in 2021;
– Earned up to two minimum wages monthly, on average, in that year;
– Have been registered with PIS/Pasep for at least five years;
– Have correct data in the e-Social or RAIS sent by the employer.

More than 22 million people will have access to the money by the end of the year. To find out the value of their PIS/Pasep bonus, individuals can multiply the number of months in which they worked in 2021 by R$ 108.50 (equivalent to 1/12 of the national minimum wage). Those who worked throughout the year (12 months) receive the full amount.

To get more detailed information such as values, schedules, and other details, individuals can use either the Carteira de Trabalho Digital application (available for Android and iOS) or call 158. Another option is to contact either Caixa (PIS) or Banco do Brasil (Pasep).
