The Ministry of Labor will release blocked FGTS funds for 13 million workers who chose the birthday withdrawal option and were dismissed without just cause. This measure, formalized by a Provisional Measure, will cost R$7.8 billion, with the first payment of up to R$1,800 on December 30 and a second on February 12. The birthday withdrawal, introduced by the Bolsonaro government, allows annual partial withdrawals but forfeits the full FGTS balance upon dismissal without just cause.
