The method for this consultation is called the birthday withdrawal. However, it is worth noting that, by choosing this option, employees waive the right to receive the full amount in urgent situations, such as cases of dismissal without just cause.

For those whose birthday is in November, the FGTS birthday withdrawal will be available from the first business day of the birthday month. Thus, employees born this month can already start checking it today, the first day of November.
Likewise, employees who celebrate another year of life during this period have until January 31, 2024, to check with Caixa. If they do not do so by then, the amounts will return to the Fund, and the next check will only take place in the following year.

To enroll in the birthday withdrawal, there are two options: go to a Caixa Econômica branch or use the FGTS app, available for platforms Android and iOS. In the online method, the procedures are:
- Log in with your Caixa account;
- Go to “My Withdrawals” and click “Birthday Withdrawal”;
- Choose “Change FGTS withdrawal method” and agree to the terms presented;
- Select “Opt for Birthday Withdrawal”.
In conclusion, it is crucial to remember that, when choosing the birthday withdrawal, the employee remains tied to this option for at least 24 months before being able to switch back to termination withdrawal. Therefore, this choice requires reflection and a thorough analysis of individual financial needs.
