Find out when the 2021 PIS/PASEP will be paid

With the end of the 2020 base year calendar in the last month of March, the workers wonder if the PIS/PASEP 2021 will be paid later this year. Around 23 million workers expect this “extra money” for the payment accumulated bills and even making a purchase. Follow the text and see the resolution taken by the Federal Government.

PIS/PASEP

At the height of the pandemic, the Bolsonaro government withheld wage bonus amounts, claiming serious spending on disease control measures and to recover the country's economy. Thus, the 2020 amounts were only paid again the following year.

Thus, some workers had to wait longer, as people who worked in 2020 could only receive it now. Those who worked in 2021 will only be able to receive it next year, as the government has postponed payment and has no plans to resume installments for now.

In a way, this affects the lives of workers who rely on this money to carry out some demand, such as buying new furniture, paying off debts or investing in home renovations.

If you worked in the years prior to the pandemic, check the possibility of receiving and how to withdraw PIS/PASEP. Check it out below.

• Have received, on average, up to two minimum wages per month in the year considered for calculation;
• Have performed paid activity for a legal entity for at least 30 consecutive days in the base year;
• Have the data correctly informed by the company in the RAIS (Annual Social Information List)/eSocial.
