Salary Allowance starts paying additional installment this Thursday

The Ministry of Labor and Employment (MTE) begins paying, this Thursday (15), the additional batch of the Salary Allowance.

In total, 1,030,899 workers entitled to the benefit will be covered and the amounts deposited total R$804.24 million.

The value corresponds to the minimum wage, currently R$1,621, divided by 12 and multiplied by the number of months worked in the base year 2024.

In the current payment schedule, the benefit varies from R$136 to R$1,621.

The amounts will be available to workers until December 30, 2026.

Who is entitled

Workers who meet the following criteria are entitled to the Salary Bonus for the base year 2024:

be registered with the Social Integration Program (PIS) or the Public Servant Assets Formation Program (Pasep) for at least five years, counting from the date of the first contract;

have carried out paid work for at least 30 days, whether consecutive or not;

have received an average monthly salary of up to R$2,766 in the period;

have data relating to the base year 2024 correctly reported by the employer in the eSocial system;

employers are PIS/Pasep taxpayers.

Where to consult

Beneficiaries can consult the salary bonus information relating to the payment calendar, fiscal year 2026, in the Digital Work Card application, which can be downloaded on smartphones and tablets, with access via the Gov.br platform password.

It is also possible to find information on the Emprega Brasil – Trabalhador Portal.

On both platforms, it is possible to check information such as the value of the benefit, the bank responsible for the payment and the specific date of the deposit.

Workers can still seek assistance through the Alô Trabalho Call Center, telephone 158, with a free call from 7am to 10pm, from Monday to Saturday, except on national holidays, and at the units of the Regional Labor Superintendencies.

Complementary lot

The additional batch is the result of the reprocessing of Salary Allowance information from the base year 2024 and data transmitted or rectified by employers after processing within the original deadline.

The measures adopted allowed the recognition of the right to benefit for workers who had not been identified in previous processing and also the review of the amount owed to workers already qualified.

PIS/Pasep

The Salary Allowance of the complementary batch benefits 704,398 workers from private companies (PIS), with payments made by Caixa Econômica Federal, and 326,501 public servants (Pasep), whose amounts will be paid by Banco do Brasil.

This year, the Salary Allowance payment calendar for the base year 2024 started on February 16th.
