More than 42 million Brazilians can participate in the extraordinary loot of up to BRL 1 thousand made available by the Severance Indemnity Fund (FGTS). However, many workers are not sure if the money redeemed can affect the amount of the fine in case of resignation. In this sense, see in this article how this happens in practice.

First of all, it is essential to make it clear that the worker is not obliged to collect the extraordinary withdrawal money. Therefore, those who are not interested in receiving the amount can leave it in their account. This is because the amount of up to R$ 1,000 will be returned to the FGTS account if the citizen does not transfer the money by December 15th. In addition, it is worth mentioning that the values will also be corrected.
The worker who collects the FGTS extraordinary withdrawal does not lose the fine money in case of dismissal without just cause. These are different circumstances, as the 40% fine is levied on all employer deposits, or more specifically, on the time worked, and is independent of the FGTS account balance.
On April 20, the extraordinary withdrawal began to be made available to workers born in January. The calendar was maintained until June 15 for those born in December. This means that all professionals already have the money available for use. Also, the amount in question comes from both active and inactive accounts.
The amounts were automatically deposited in citizens' accounts, and to access them, just enter the Caixa Tem application. So if you have money in your account and are afraid to use it, don't worry! After all, this will not affect the calculation because it is done according to all deposits made during the employment contract.
