The self-employed workers to whom the Social Security charges the quota, and subsequently receive the benefit of aid that the Government approved last week as a consequence of the coronavirus crisis, will receive the refund of the payment automatically .

This is what sources from the Ministry of Social Security assure, explaining to this newspaper that "the Social Security Treasury will return the quotas that self-employed workers have paid when they overlap with the extraordinary benefit for cessation of activity, without them having to request it, and once the income of the quotas and the concession of the benefit are verified ".

In this way, the department led by José Luis Escrivá tries to solve one of the great concerns of the self-employed, and stresses that the process will be automatic since, until now, official sources have pointed out that the process could require a request from the affected.

But, at the same time, the clarification implies that, effectively, many self-employed workers will have to advance the payment of the quota and that the Executive ruling out the cancellation of the March payment , as requested by the National Federation of Self-Employed Workers Associations (ATA) in the letter that yesterday sent to the Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez.

Mortgage measures

On the other hand, UPTA has asked the Government for additional measures for the mortgages of the commercial premises and the expenses of treasury or liquidity , since "they are one of the main obligations contracted by the self-employed", according to a statement collected by Europa Press .

In fact, remember that a self-employed person, on average, faces the monthly payment of between 500 and 1,000 euros, so UPTA sees the restructuring of these expenses as "vital". " The self-employed do not need a new loan to pay those already granted . They cannot take on more obligations that increase their level of indebtedness," says UPTA president Eduardo Abad.
