The Public Employment Service offers workers a wide range of financial support to help manage many personal situations and earn extra income to cope with daily needs. It provides temporary subsidies or pensions with no expiration date to both employed and unemployed individuals.
Through SEPE, benefits are available for those who cannot find a job. Applicants must meet a set of requirements, and the amount increases based on the number of dependents or family circumstances. The aim is to align income with the current Minimum Interprofessional Wage, which stands at 1,080 euros per month.
