For unemployed individuals aged 52 and older in Spain, there is hopeful news on the financial horizon. The SEPE allowance for citizens over 52 can be complemented by other financial aid, offering a meaningful opportunity to boost monthly income and alleviate financial pressures.
Combining aid for people over 52 with other benefits
SEPE has opened the door for recipients of unemployment benefits who are aged 52 or more to access additional benefits. The current unemployment benefit for those over 52 is 480 euros per month. When paired with supplementary benefits administered by organizations other than SEPE, these combined resources can significantly improve the beneficiary’s quality of life.
These are subsidy-compatible benefits for people over 52 years of age
The only two benefits that can be combined with the SEPE subsidy for people over 52 are the Minimum Vital Income (IMV) and the Minimum Insertion Income (RMI). The following explains how each aid can work in concert with the SEPE subsidy.
This is the Minimum Living Income (IMV): the keys to this benefit
-
To qualify for IMV, applicants must meet income thresholds established for the program. See the IMV eligibility requirements here.
-
Once approved, the IMV amount adds to the SEPE subsidy, increasing the total monthly support.
Keys to Minimum Income Insertion (RMI)
-
The RMI amount and eligibility criteria vary by autonomous community, as the program is administered by regional social services.
-
This benefit is designed to complement the subsidy for people aged 52 and over, thereby enhancing existing financial support.
How these aids integrate with the over-52 allowance—application considerations
Each aid has its own procedures and eligibility criteria. Those interested in obtaining these compatible benefits should learn the specific requirements and follow the application steps carefully for the over-52 allowance.
The combination of the SEPE subsidy with IMV or RMI can improve the financial outlook for many unemployed individuals in this age group. It remains crucial for applicants to be well informed about each program, to fully understand how to apply, and to meet all necessary conditions.
