At least 70 million Brazilian workers will be able to request their monetary correction referring to the amounts deposited over the years in the Severance Guarantee Fund (FGTS).
Therefore, these revisions can reach up to R$ 10,000, according to the LOIT FGTS tool that calculates how much each person can receive with this action.

However, there is a possibility that the amount could be much higher depending on how long the amounts remained in the fund account and the amount that was deposited, based on the worker's salary. The amount of the FGTS that was deposited monthly is around 8% of the salary.
This revision is a Direct Action of Unconstitutionality (ADI 5090) made by a judicial thesis that awaits a decision from the Federal Supreme Court (STF).
For people who work with portfolio registration from 1999 to the present day, it is possible that they have amounts to be received after this correction. It is even valid for those who have already withdrawn the total amount of the FGTS and have nothing else in their account.
Briefly, the revision withdraws the Referential Rate (TR) that is used in the correction of the FGTS and starts using an index that seems to be more advantageous. Today, the TR is below inflation, which leads to financial losses for workers.
Therefore, the idea is that it be replaced by another index that measures inflation that has more advantage and that presents better, more realistic benefits to workers, such as the National Consumer Price Index (IPCA).
The worker has free access to a tool called LOIT FGTS to be able to simulate how much he will receive with the review of his FGTS.
This calculator, after being included with some information, shows how much each worker, if there is a change in the index, will be entitled to receive.
For those interested, you will need to inform the FGTS statements that are available in the Caixa FGTS Application, available for Android and iOS. The calculations made through the platform already add up to R$ 1 billion, demonstrating the real potential of this legal decision.
To request the review, they must file a lawsuit to be able to receive the FGTS review through the Federal Special Courts, which do not need to be accompanied by a lawyer. However, only people earning up to 60 minimum wages can enter these courts, which would be around R$ 727,210.00.
