The PIS (Social Integration Program) had a payment schedule that was in effect between February and March of this year, with payments released to people who worked in 2020.
But now, new payment dates will be released for the PIS based on the year 2021. See below who can receive and the payment schedule for the allowance:
PIS Payment Schedule
Last year, the Federal Government suspended the PIS payment schedule to fund the Emergency Benefit for Employment and Income Maintenance (BEm).
Therefore, the payment schedule was canceled last year and resumed in 2022, when payments based on the year 2020 were released.
The PIS for the base year 2021 was postponed to 2023, causing payments to be delayed by one year from now on.
The schedule is expected to return to normal only when there is enough budget in public coffers to release the accumulated salary bonuses to the workers.
However, in 2022, the official schedule took place between February and March, and the new deadline provided by the agency gives beneficiaries the opportunity to claim their salary bonus.
Withdrawals can be made until December 29, 2022, by workers who have a balance to receive.
If you have any doubts about your balance, you can check your situation in the Digital Work Card, the Meu INSS app or website, or through the “Alô Trabalho” telephone hotline at number 158.
