Unemployed Over 52: How Subsidies Can Be Combined with Other Benefits
SEPE supports individuals who are unemployed and over 52 years old by offering access to a primary subsidy alongside additional benefits that can raise monthly income. Those who already receive SEPE’s non-contributory monthly benefit of €451.92 may become eligible for two extra subsidies if they meet the specified criteria. It is important to note that these supplementary benefits are not administered by SEPE itself; they are managed by different organizations, each with its own application process and eligibility requirements.
For those who already receive the non-contributory benefit and are over 52, the process is straightforward: request the two extra benefits. However, anyone who has not yet applied must satisfy the conditions and submit the required documents. The two non-contributory benefits that can be combined with the unemployment subsidy for those aged 52 or older are the Minimum Vital Income (IMV) and the Minimum Supplementary Income (RMI), each specific to the autonomous community in which the applicant resides.

These are the subsidies available to people over 52 years old.
To qualify for IMV, the applicant must not exceed a monthly income limit that depends on the size of the household. When these conditions are met, the monthly SEPE allowance for individuals over 52 may be increased by the IMV. Applicants should follow the specified steps and provide the required documentation to apply for this assistance.

On the other hand, the Minimum Supplementary Income offered by the Social Services of each autonomous community represents a second option that can be claimed alongside the SEPE allowance, further increasing the income for those over 52. The amount of this aid varies by region and requires meeting basic eligibility criteria set by the local government.
In summary, SEPE enables unemployed people over 52 to combine their primary subsidy with additional financial help, provided the necessary requirements are met. Although only two non-contributory benefits align with the subsidy, each has its own application process and specific conditions. It remains essential for interested individuals to be thoroughly informed about the rules and steps to obtain these supports.
