PIS Payments 2023 Start for Workers Born in May and June

The federal government begins today (17) the payment of the PIS/Pasep salary bonus 2023 for workers born in May and June, as well as public servants with Pasep registrations completed on the 2nd or 3rd.

Additionally, those from the third extra batch, born between January and April, who are entitled to the benefit but did not receive it on the correct date due to data discrepancies, will also have the amount released this month.

Amount of the Salary Bonus and Payment Responsibilities

The salary bonus can reach R$ 1,302, the equivalent of the current minimum wage. Caixa Econômica Federal will be responsible for paying PIS to private sector workers, while Banco do Brasil will handle Pasep for public servants.

In April, 4.1 million installments will be made available, totaling R$ 4 billion, including those born in May and June and workers from the extra batch. Throughout 2023, approximately 23 million workers will receive the benefit.

The payment schedule will extend until July, and the withdrawal deadline is until December 28.

The benefit amount is proportional to the time worked with a signed contract during the year, with each month equivalent to R$ 108.50, and periods of 15 days or more counted as a full month.

Some categories of workers are not entitled to the bonus, such as domestic employees, rural workers employed by individuals, urban workers employed by individuals, and those employed by individuals equated to legal entities.
