Deadline to Claim Old PIS/Pasep Money Ends on Wednesday
Listen to the story
Some people in Brazil have old money in a program called PIS/Pasep. This is money for workers from past years.
The money is called a quota. Many people forgot about it. They did not ask for it before.
Now there is a deadline. People must ask for this money by Wednesday. After that day, it may be too late.
If you have old quotas, you should check now. You can look for information online or at a bank.
The news says it is important to act fast. After Wednesday, asking for a refund may not be possible.
This news is for workers who had jobs in Brazil many years ago. They may not know they have this money.
Checking now takes only a few minutes. It could mean getting money that people forgot about.
