For Spaniards over 52 who are unemployed, there is a hopeful outlook on their financial situation. The public employment service SEPE offers a pathway to combine the unemployment subsidy for those aged over 52 with additional forms of financial support. This creates a meaningful opportunity to increase monthly income and ease financial pressures during a challenging period.
Combining the over-52 subsidy with other aids
SEPE has opened doors for individuals already receiving the subsidy for those aged over 52, currently set at 480 euros per month, to access two supplementary benefits. These extra aids, managed by agencies outside SEPE, can be key to improving living standards for beneficiaries.
These are the supports compatible with the over-52 subsidy
The two benefits that can be combined with the over-52 subsidy are the Minimum Vital Income and the Minimum Insertion Income. The following explains how each of these supports can complement the SEPE subsidy.
Understanding the Minimum Vital Income IMV essentials
- To qualify for the IMV, applicants must fall under a defined income threshold. The IMV requirements can be checked here.
- The subsidy amount will be increased by the corresponding IMV amount once the IMV request is approved.

How to claim these supports that are compatible with the over-52 subsidy
Each of these aids has its own application procedures and eligibility criteria. Those interested in applying for these compatible supports should carefully review the specific requirements and follow the exact steps for submission.
The combination of the over-52 subsidy with the IMV or the RMI offers a strong chance to improve the financial situation of many unemployed individuals in this age group. It is important for interested parties to obtain accurate information about each aid, understand the application process, and meet all necessary criteria.
Knowing that there are compatible aids alongside the over-52 subsidy is a promising development for many in this unemployment bracket. With the option to combine the subsidy with IMV or RMI, a path toward greater financial stability opens up. To make the most of these opportunities, staying well informed and following the application procedures carefully is essential. This initiative shows SEPE’s ongoing commitment to supporting unemployed workers aged 52 and above in Spain.
