The release is based on Provisional Measure nº 1.331 of December 23, 2025, later amended by MP nº 1.355/2026, according to iG Economia. The funds were blocked due to anniversary withdrawal anticipation contracts, but discussion about the size of retention needed to guarantee fund-linked credit operations resulted in the release. ?

"No dia 26 de maio, mais de 10,5 milhões de trabalhadores receberão em suas contas os valores complementares, que foram autorizados pela Medida Provisória nº 1.331, de 23 de dezembro de 2025. A medida autorizou o saque do FGTS para trabalhadores optantes pelo saque-aniversário que foram demitidos sem justa causa entre 2020 e 2025."
Payments are automatic for workers who registered bank accounts in the FGTS app — about 88% of eligible workers, according to Caixa. Those who didn't register accounts can withdraw in person at branches, lottery houses and correspondents until June 1, 2026. Amounts above R$ 3,000 must be withdrawn exclusively at branches. ✓
