What prompted the end of the Birthday Withdrawal?
Criticism of the FGTS program arose due to its complexity and the difficulties workers faced in using the benefit effectively.
In addition, many users reported problems accessing the system and obtaining the information needed to make withdrawals.
Replacement for the Birthday Withdrawal
As a replacement for the Birthday Withdrawal, the creation of a new scheme called “Emergency Termination Withdrawal” was proposed.
In addition, this scheme will allow workers to use part of their FGTS balance in cases of dismissal without just cause, ensuring a source of funds in times of need.
Checking the balance and other schemes
Workers who were dissatisfied with the Birthday Withdrawal can learn about other modalities available for FGTS, such as Termination Withdrawal and Emergency Termination Withdrawal.
In addition, it is possible to check the available balance in the FGTS account through the official Caixa Econômica Federal app or website.
