According to Caixa, money from Saque Calamidade can be withdrawn through the app
Those affected by the flood in Rio Grande do Sul will be able to withdraw the balance of the FGTS (Service Time Guarantee Fund), announced this Friday afternoon (May 3, 2024) the Caixa Econômica Federal. Money can be withdrawn through the FGTS application.
The Calamity Loot is available to residents of municipalities that have declared a state of public calamity or emergency situation, duly recognized by federal government decree. Each city hall will send Caixa a declaration of the areas affected by the extreme weather event.
The money will be released to those living at the affected addresses. In a note, Caixa informed that it will send technicians to the affected regions to help city halls take measures to help the population. As soon as the money is released, the worker will be able to withdraw it through the FGTS application.
The Calamity Withdrawal is one of the possibilities for withdrawing resources from the FGTS. Regulated by decree 5,113 of 2004, the modality can only be activated in exceptional cases. Normally, the FGTS can be withdrawn in case of unfair dismissals, when the worker turns 70 or in the birthday withdrawal, which offers the withdrawal of part of the balance in the month of the worker’s birthday.
Caixa also announced that payment of housing financing contracts in the affected regions may be suspended for 3 months. The customer must make a request to the bank to be eligible. It is also possible to incorporate installments into the outstanding balance of defaulting customers.
So far, storms in Rio Grande do Sul have left at least 39 dead and more than 60 missing. The rains caused damage in around 1 in every 3 municipalities in Rio Grande do Sul, leaving hundreds of people stranded and thousands of homeless people homeless.
