Caixa Econômica Federal made the so-called Saque Calamidade available to workers in Juiz de Fora, Matias Barbosa and Ubá affected by the tragedy caused by the rains.
.
The Calamity Withdrawal allows workers to withdraw up to R$6,220.00 from each account they have in the FGTS due to personal, urgent and serious needs resulting from a natural disaster that has hit their residence, after an official declaration by the Civil Defense of their municipality.
To withdraw the benefit, you must have a balance in your FGTS account and not have made a withdrawal for the same reason in less than 12 months.
How to request FGTS withdrawal
