Right now, if a self-employed person owes Social Security even if it is only one euro, he is automatically denied the possibility of collecting a pension . No matter the amount owed, if something is owed, there is no pension.

To solve this situation, in many cases unfair after a lifetime of work, the PP has registered in Congress a proposal for the Government to enable mechanisms that allow the self-employed who have the right to charge at least half of it.

What the Popular Parliamentary Group requests from the Acting Executive is that it adopt the pertinent measures so that the self-employed that have debts with Social Security can at least collect 50% of their pensions and that the rest is derived to amortize the debt they have contracted

Article 47 of the General Law of Social Security establishes the obligation to be up to date with the payment of contributions to be able to access any benefit. This, in practice, means that a self-employed worker who has been contributing for a lifetime, but who, due to circumstances, has not been able to face any Social Security quota, when it is time to retire, cannot receive a pension even if he has the year of quotation required for her.

This situation, according to the Popular Group, "creates a huge helplessness for the affected self-employed worker who, despite having been working and contributing, does not receive his pension and therefore, although he is willing to comply, he has no income to face the payment of fees due. " It also means, the popular people remember, "a huge damage to Social Security, which ceases to receive the appropriate amount.
