Provisional measures of 2025 boosted FGTS withdrawals

The provisional measures signed in 2025 authorized the withdrawal of FGTS for dismissed workers.

The president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva signed these measures throughout 2025, allowing access to previously blocked amounts.

Workers who opted for the birthday withdrawal began to access the retained funds.

In the first half of 2025, the government released R$ 12 billion for about 12 million workers
In the second half of 2025, the government released R$ 8.5 billion for approximately 14 million people

The total exceeded R$ 20 billion throughout 2025, as reported by the Ministry of Labor.

Part of the funds remained retained after release

The ministry identified that not all authorized amounts reached the workers.

According to the ministry, about R$ 7 billion remained retained after the implementation of the measures.

The government considers this amount a “legitimate right of the workers” and seeks to correct the situation.

The technical team is already working to facilitate the release of this remaining amount.

Caixa must clarify the execution of the measures

The Ministry of Labor informed that Caixa must explain the operational details of the releases.

The public bank emphasizes that it follows the rules of FGTS, but does not confirm the amount cited by the ministry.

Divergences continue regarding the execution of the measures and the full release of the funds.

Investigation is ongoing and definition has not yet been confirmed
