Time is running out to claim up to R$ 6,220 from Caixa. Hurry and find out how to apply!
The opportunity to claim up to R$ 6,220 from Caixa Econômica Federal is coming to an end. Until next Saturday, October 7, workers from 12 municipalities in Alagoas have the chance to request the emergency withdrawal from the Severance Indemnity Fund (FGTS), which the banking institution administers.
This option is specifically intended for areas that received emergency decrees due to disasters such as floods, heavy rains, landslides, and other adverse natural events. In the case of Alagoas, intense rainfall hit the state in July of this year.
Who is entitled to the R$ 6,220 withdrawal from Caixa?
The emergency FGTS withdrawal is an option for workers from the affected cities who have a balance in the FGTS. The maximum amount that can be withdrawn is R$ 6,220, provided that the interval between withdrawals from Caixa is at least 12 months.
In total, 12 municipalities in Alagoas are authorized for this category. Residents of these locations have until Saturday to submit their request:
- Atalaia;
- Branquinha;
- Jacuípe;
- Joaquim Gomes;
- Marechal Deodoro;
- Matriz de Camaragibe;
- Murici;

Although Caixa manages the FGTS, you should not submit the request through the banking institution's app. Instead, applicants must access the Fund's official app (available for Android and iOS). Then, simply follow these steps:
- First, access your account;
- Then, select “My withdrawals”;
- Choose the option “Other withdrawal situations – Public emergency” and click on one of the authorized cities;
- Send a photo of your identity document and an up-to-date proof of address, issued no more than three months before the emergency decree;
- Provide the details of a bank account (it may be with Caixa or another institution);
- Confirm your request;
- Wait up to 5 business days for a response.
