Curator Council of the Employment Time Guarantee Fund

The Curator Council of the Employment Time Guarantee Fund was established on May 11th, 1990 and is the superior managerial and administrative body of the fund. The council is a tripartite collegiate body made up of 24 councilors who represent workers, employers and the federal government. It is chaired by the Minister of Labor, whose ministry is responsible for the oversight of payments of contributions to the fund. The Minister of the State of Cities is the vice-president of the council and manages the fund?s resource allocation in popular housing, environmental sanitation and infrastructure. The Ministry of Cities is in charge of preparing annual budgets and multiannual plans for resource allocation, as well as monitoring the physical goals proposed. The board is assisted by the Permanent Support Group, comprised of technical consultants linked to the 24 entities that have a seat in the council. It is the National Treasury Attorney's Office responsibility to enter the debts enrolled as overdue tax liabilities in the fund. In addition, it is responsible for the fund?s representation in and outside of court for the corresponding billing, done directly or through the intermediary of the Caixa Econômica Federal (the federally-controlled savings bank) by covenant. The operating agent of the fund?s resources is the Caixa Econômica Federal.
