The salary bonus is a labor benefit that comes from PIS, the Social Integration Program. In short, the PIS was a kind of FGTS in the old days. Therefore, the companies deposited the contribution for the length of service. But after the end of PIS quotas, in 2019, this benefit became the salary allowance. Although he was suspended due to the pandemic, in 2022 the government will pay again and many people want to know: who is entitled to the salary allowance? In today's article we will answer you. Read more and check it out!

In 2020, with the pandemic, the salary allowance was suspended. As a result, many people were left without the benefit. However, for 2022 the government has already released the calendar. In fact, distribution has already started. In this sense, to receive the PIS or salary allowance, it is necessary to fulfill some prerequisites. See some:

In addition, it is worth remembering that enrollment in the PIS is made directly at the time of hiring, by the employer. Therefore, all salary allowance requirements depend more on the company than on you.

In addition, you also need to be aware of some issues that may prevent you from receiving the benefit. One example is the lack of updating of the RAIS, the Annual Social Information List. In this sense, you should check that the information is up to date on the website. If they are not, your employer needs to update and regularize your situation.

Another situation is the error in the PIS or PASEP number. That is, if your number does not match the one informed by RAIS, your salary allowance will not be accessible. Therefore, always check the number on your work card. 

Finally, there are cases where the PIS number is not on the work card. Therefore, the worker or employer must perceive the problem and immediately ask for the correction or inclusion of the correct number. In addition, you can also consult the PIS number through the FGTS and Caixa Trabalhador application.

At first, PIS considers who worked for at least 30 days in the base year of payment. Therefore, in 2022 the base year will be 2020. In this way, those who fulfilled the work prerequisites in 2020 will receive the PIS.

In short, the salary bonus is paid by Caixa Econômica Federal and also by Banco do Brasil. This difference exists because of workers in private companies and public bodies. In this sense, those who work in a private company receive PIS at Caixa. Those who work in public institutions receive the PASEP at Banco do Brasil.

In this way, Caixa provides some ways for you to receive the salary allowance. Check out:

As well as Caixa Econômica Federal, Banco do Brasil also offers some options. Therefore, anyone who is a BB account holder can receive money directly into their account. If not, just make a TED to the desired destination account. In addition, it is also possible to withdraw directly from the cashier at Banco do Brasil branches.

If you want to know if you can receive PIS, there are a few ways to check. First, it is possible to consult through the Caixa TEM application and also through Caixa Trabalhador. In addition, if you prefer, the Ministry of Labor also offers a contact by phone, at number 158. In addition, you can also consult the PIS in the work permit application.

In this sense, if you work in a public body, the query must be made by PASEP. Banco do Brasil provides the website Consulte meu PASEP. As well as the contact telephone number: 4004 0001 or 0800 729 0001.

That way, if you consult and realize that you have an amount to receive, you should pay attention to the payment schedule. Because the government has already released the 2022 calendar. Also, remember that the benefit is only paid to workers who have had a PIS record for at least 5 years. See payment dates below:
