Aid from the State Public Employment Service SEPE is a crucial resource for those who are unemployed in Spain, especially individuals aged 30 to 55. This stage of working life can be tough, sitting between youth and retirement while juggling financial and family needs.

It is important to request any of these benefits through SEPE. Applicants must be registered as job seekers and meet the specific requirements of each program. Submitting the required documents accurately and within the deadlines is essential.

These are the benefits available to unemployed people aged 30 to 55:
Access to aid for people in this age range has a monthly earnings cap of 810 euros, which corresponds to 75% of the minimum interprofessional wage. The aid amount is set at 80% of this year’s IPREM value, totaling 600 euros per month. Therefore, the monthly payment for this assistance amounts to 480 euros.
Family support assistance is another form of aid for those aged 30 to 55 who have exhausted unemployment benefits. This aid targets individuals responsible for children with a disability of 65% or more, whether those children are young or older.
In addition to these requirements, applicants must commit to actively seeking employment. The duration of family responsibilities allowance varies depending on when the contributory unemployment benefit is received and the applicant’s age:
- If the unemployed person is under 45 and has received unemployment benefits for 4 months, the aid can last 18 months.
- If the unemployed person is under 45 and has received unemployment benefits for more than 4 months, the aid can last 24 months.
- If the unemployed person is over 45 and has received unemployment benefits for 4 months, the aid can last 24 months.
- If the unemployed person is over 45 and has received unemployment benefits for more than 4 months, the aid can last 30 months.
Another option provided by SEPE is the allowance for people over 45 without family responsibilities. This support is available for a maximum of 6 months and cannot be extended.
SEPE also offers a special subsidy for long-term unemployed individuals known as the over-52 subsidy. This subsidy is for those who have exhausted unemployment benefits and have no other income, and applicants must be aged 52 or older.
These are the five SEPE courses most requested by the unemployed this year and the money they earn from them
Asset Addition Income (RAI)
Active Addition Income, commonly called RAI, is an extraordinary benefit available only to people who have exhausted the other benefits and have not yet reached 52. RAI is granted for a maximum period of 33 months.
This is how unemployed people over 52 who receive aid can lose their aid
Extraordinary Unemployment Subsidy
SEPE Extraordinary Unemployment Subsidy is open to individuals who have exhausted other benefits, including Active Supplementation Income, and meet several special requirements. This assistance has a fixed duration and cannot be extended beyond that period.
In summary, SEPE assistance is a valuable resource for unemployed people aged 30 to 55 in Spain. These grants provide financial support and also include educational and career counseling services to improve employment opportunities. Those facing unemployment should inform themselves about the available options and follow the necessary procedures to access this aid, which can influence both job prospects and financial stability.
