Citizen Card: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how to access your PIS/PASEP and FGTS balances using the Citizen Card.
The Citizen Card is a tool used to manage and access various social benefits and worker funds.
Who it's for
This card is specifically intended for workers who qualify for social benefits. It serves as a primary method for individuals to interact with the systems that manage labor-related funds and social security protections.
What you get
By using the Citizen Card, you gain access to your PIS/PASEP balances. These are funds related to worker participation programs. Additionally, the card allows you to access your FGTS balances, which is the fund designated for workers' severance and social security needs. This card acts as the gateway to these specific financial resources.
What it costs you
There is no cost to obtain this card. It is provided to you free of charge and is issued upon your request through the relevant channels.
The catch to know
While the card is a physical concept, the way you interact with it has changed. A key detail to keep in mind is that most services and management tasks are now handled digitally. Using the official mobile app is the primary way to manage your information and access your funds, meaning you will need a smartphone and internet access to handle most tasks efficiently.
How to apply
- Confirm that you are a worker with social benefits.
- Ensure you have a device capable of running the official mobile application.
- Access the app to manage your PIS/PASEP and FGTS balances.
- Follow the digital instructions provided within the application to complete your requests.
