A new Social Security initiative
Social Security has launched an important initiative aimed at easing the financial burdens borne by families in vulnerable situations. This program offers a supplement of up to 1,400 euros for each minor child who is in charge of the family unit, with the aim of improving their quality of life.
Details on the aid of 1,400 euros
This benefit, integrated within the aid package of the Minimum Vital Income (IMV), seeks to provide additional financial support to families who need it most. The amount of 1,400 euros is annual and is distributed in monthly payments, which represents approximately 116 euros per month per child.
A support that adds effort
This aid is complemented by other benefits available to families who are already beneficiaries of the IMV, thus increasing the total financial support they can receive.
Requirements to access the aid
In order to apply for this aid, families must meet a series of conditions that the Social Security has established. Below are the fundamental requirements:
Essential conditions
Applicants must be beneficiaries of the Minimum Vital Income, have at least one minor dependent child, reside legally in Spain and meet certain economic thresholds based on their family situation.
Step by step to request assistance
The application process for this aid is relatively simple and can be done mainly through the Social Security web portal. Here is a practical guide:
Application guide
Access the Social Security portal and look for the section dedicated to IMV benefits. Fill in the form with the required personal and family information, and attach the necessary documentation, such as the DNI, the family book and a registration certificate. Social Security will review the information provided and determine if you meet the requirements to receive the aid.
Terms of resolution and renewal
The time it takes to resolve your request can vary, but you can usually wait between one and three months. It is important to note that this aid is automatically renewed as long as the economic and family conditions that justified the grant are maintained.
Final reflections
With this new help, the Social Security seeks to strengthen its commitment to the most needy families, providing essential support to face everyday expenses. These initiatives are fundamental to ensure that all children have access to the same opportunities, regardless of their economic situation.
