PIS 2026 Will Reference Work Done in 2024, With Schedule Defined by Codefat and Two-Year Interval Maintained After the Pandemic.
The PIS 2026 will be calculated based on the base year 2024, according to government confirmation. According to the UOL portal, the announcement of the schedule is expected next month and, according to the Ministry of Labor and Employment (MTE), the dates will be disclosed in the last meeting of Codefat scheduled for the end of November. The two-year interval between the base year and payment, created by pandemic delays, will be maintained.
In practice, this means that those who worked with a signed contract in 2024 and meet the requirements for the salary bonus will need to wait for the official publication of the schedule to know when they will receive. The amount of PIS 2026 has not yet been revealed, as it depends on the minimum wage in effect in the year of payment.
What Changes (and What Remains) in PIS 2026
The main change is in the time frame: PIS 2026 considers the period worked in 2024. This definition provides predictability for workers, even with the schedule yet to be disclosed.

The government has also confirmed the continuation of the two-year interval, created to equalize the delays accumulated since Covid-19.
At the same time, nothing changes regarding the fact that the official schedule comes from Codefat.
The MTE informed that the dates will be decided in the meeting scheduled for the end of November, maintaining the centralized announcement process. Until then, avoid rumors: “alternative” schedules are not valid.
Who is Entitled: Confirmed Criteria for Base Year 2024
From what has been anticipated, PIS 2026 will follow the eligibility requirements for 2024. Those entitled include: individuals who received up to two monthly minimum wages in 2024, have had a PIS/Pasep registration for at least five years, and worked a minimum of 30 days with a signed contract in 2024.
There are clear exclusions: those who provided services to individuals do not qualify, which includes domestic workers under the stated rule.
Reviewing one’s own employment history from 2024 is the first step to avoid losing the benefit due to documentation details.
PIS 2026 Calendar: When It’s Released and Where to Follow
According to the MTE, the PIS 2026 calendar will be defined by Codefat in the meeting at the end of November, and the announcement is expected next month.
Until the official publication, there are no valid dates, only estimates.
To avoid being caught off guard, organize your 2024 documents (signed contract, proof of remuneration) and follow the official announcement.
The public confirmation of the schedule is the trigger to plan the use of the salary bonus securely.
How Much Will Be Paid: What is Known (and What Still Remains)
The amount of PIS 2026 has not been revealed. It depends on the minimum wage in effect in the year of payment, a decision that will be announced by the government.
Without the new minimum set, there’s no way to confirm the amounts.
While the announcement hasn’t occurred, the best course of action is to monitor the definition of the minimum wage and keep the documentation from the base year 2024 organized.
Avoid promises from “calculators” with fixed amounts before the official announcement of the minimum wage.
Why the Two-Year Interval Was Maintained in PIS 2026
The delays since the pandemic have shifted the relationship between the base year and payment year.
To regularize the queue, the government maintains the two-year interval, which explains why PIS 2026 uses data from 2024.
The design aims to provide predictability without breaking the queue. In practice, the worker knows which year counts (2024) and that payment occurs in 2026, after the official schedule. It is a temporary accommodation that remains in effect.
Safe Step-by-Step Until the Announcement
1) Confirm if you fit the rules: up to two monthly minimum wages in 2024, a minimum of 30 days with a signed contract in 2024 and PIS/Pasep registration for at least five years.
2) Gather documentation: records from your contract and remuneration information from the base year 2024.
3) Follow the announcement from Codefat: the official dates will be released after the meeting scheduled for the end of November.
4) Wait for the new minimum wage: the amount of PIS 2026 will only be finalized after the government sets the minimum for the year.
The PIS 2026 already has base year 2024 confirmed and two-year interval maintained.
All that remains is the announcement of the schedule by Codefat and the definition of the minimum wage to finalize amounts. In the meantime, keep your documentation up to date and be wary of unofficial promises.
Now It’s Up to You: In your opinion, does the two-year interval in PIS 2026 bring more predictability or hinder the worker? Tell us in the comments how this schedule impacts your planning.
