The Role of the Employment Support Institution
The State Public Employment Service (SEPE) occupies a crucial position in the lives of many families in Spain, especially for those facing unemployment situations. Its function is not only to facilitate access to benefits, but also to be a fundamental support for the livelihood of many households.
The Challenge of Fatherhood or Motherhood
In situations where a SEPE beneficiary becomes a father or mother, either by birth, adoption or foster care, challenges arise that require special attention. It is essential to inform the employment office about this change, since simultaneous receipt of unemployment and maternity or paternity benefits is not allowed.
Management of Benefits
If the beneficiary receives a contributory benefit for unemployment, it is necessary to request the suspension of the SEPE aid in order to be able to access the maternity or paternity benefits managed by the National Institute of Social Security (INSS). This process can be carried out in several ways, including the Electronic Office, face-to-face visits by appointment or by telephone.
Continuity of Benefits
During the period in which the INSS maternity or paternity allowance is received, the unemployment is not consumed, allowing the continuation of the benefits after this allowance ends. The beneficiary must present the required documentation, such as the notice of termination and documents certifying paternity or maternity status.

Situation of the Beneficiaries
For unemployment benefit beneficiaries, the situation is different. This aid is aimed at those people who have not paid for a minimum period and its continuity depends on the days paid. In this case, the receipt of maternity or paternity benefits from the Social Security is not viable, so the beneficiary continues to receive the subsidy.
Administrative process
Even so, it is necessary to present the Social Security maternity medical report to the employment offices to maintain the leave situation and suspend the employment request temporarily.
conclusion
It is essential to understand the procedures and requirements for managing benefits in paternity or maternity situations while receiving unemployment assistance. Information and collaboration with the relevant institutions ensure the continuity of the financial support necessary for families in these situations.
