Parenting income is a monetary benefit available to families with children aged 0 to 3. This program provides 100 euros per month for each child in that age range. Its expansion followed the Family Code approved by the government last year, reflecting a broader commitment to supporting early childhood.
To receive Parenting Income until a child turns three, applicants must meet specific criteria. Below are the key requirements and the information needed to submit a request:
- Mothers receiving unemployment benefits may qualify for this benefit, regardless of whether they have contributed to social security.
- Mothers who work part-time or full-time must be enrolled in Social Security or a mutual insurance company for at least 30 days before applying.
- Single-parent families are eligible, including scenarios where the other parent is hospitalized for illness for an extended period, is incarcerated, or custody rests with one parent only.
- Rights of same-sex parents are recognized, and families with gay parents are entitled to this benefit.
Eligibility for claimants includes children born from the month of birth up to the month before turning three, as well as adopted children, children in foster care, and minors under guardianship.
Additionally, if a claimant is entitled to a maternity deduction and has incurred custody costs at a nursery or early childhood education center, the deduction may be increased by up to 1,000 euros. When custody costs are discussed, the Tax Office defines them as amounts paid for pre-registration, registration, attendance, general and extended hours, and meals, reflecting expenses over the relevant months. In-kind income exempt from business activity is not considered for this purpose.
