The birthday withdrawal table

The withdrawal is the balance of all your FGTS accounts times the rate of its band, plus the additional amount (Lei 8.036/1990, art. 20-D):

What changes with the birthday withdrawal

  • Those who opt for it cannot withdraw their FGTS balance if they are dismissed without just cause (Lei 8.036/1990, art. 20-A, § 2º, II).
  • The first choice takes effect immediately; going back to the termination withdrawal (saque-rescisão) only takes effect from the first day of the 25th month after the request (art. 20-C, § 1º).
