How does loot-birthday work?
The withdrawal-anniversary is an option to withdraw part of the balance of the FGTS account that allows the employee to withdraw annually a certain amount on his birthday month. However, whoever chooses this withdrawal loses the right to withdraw the total balance of the account in the case of unfair dismissal, the so-called withdrawal withdrawal.
To be entitled to the birthday withdrawal, workers need to inform the option, which can be done through the FGTS app, and indicate a bank account at any financial institution to receive the credit, which occurs automatically in the same year of adhesion.
The FGTS annual withdrawal limit is a percentage of the worker’s account balance, in which quota holders with a smaller balance will be able to withdraw more annually. See the table below.
