More than 4.2 million Spanish households are eligible this year for a 200 euro crisis check aimed at low‑income families with limited assets, according to the Tax Office. The one‑time payment can be claimed from February 15 to March 31, 2023, for those facing economic hardship who do not qualify for other forms of social assistance.
Who can claim the 200 euro crisis check?
Eligibility rules specify that households must have an annual income below 27,000 euros and a reduced net worth not exceeding 75,000 euros, excluding habitual residence. However, some groups, such as pensioners receiving certain benefits, may not be eligible. This includes recipients of the Minimum Vital Income (IMV) or those covered under specific Social Security regimes or state passive classes.

The 200 Euro check must be included in the Income statement
Processing of the 200 euro aid is managed by the Tax Office, which has already informed applicants of the steps involved. Cashing the 200 euro check has tax implications: recipients must declare it as capital gains on their annual tax return. It is not subject to the general framework of certain laws but must be reported in the 2023 Income and Equity statement, which will be filed in spring 2024.

Some experts note that future assistance could increase the tax burden for low earners if overpayments occur. It is important to understand how to use the 200 euro aid before claiming or collecting it. TaxDown, a platform for reporting income, estimates that a person with a gross annual income of 23,500 euros could pay roughly 30 euros on their income statement next year as a result of this aid.

When is a 200 Euro check cashed?
The Tax Office allows three months from the end date of form submission to process the payment. The deadline for payment is therefore June 30. If the payment is not completed within this window, the request may be considered rejected.

To verify whether the application has been accepted, applicants can check whether funds have been deposited into their bank account or review the status on the Tax Office’s portal. Access to the portal requires entering a DNI and validity date and requesting a PIN through the Cl@ve system. The agency also supports modifying or canceling a submitted application. If an applicant needs to replace a submission, the previous application must be canceled and a completely new one submitted, ensuring all details are correct before final submission.
