• Social Security Minimum Life Income Simulator: check if you meet the requirements to request the minimum income

The Government has launched the Minimum Vital Income , a minimum income that seeks to help households with less income. We review the keys around this measure and answer questions.

What is the Minimum Vital Income

The minimum vital income or minimum vital income is a basic income approved by the Government and directed to households in a situation of "severe poverty" , which amounts to 20%.

In Spain there are 1.1 million households with all their members unemployed, and almost 600,000 who do not have any type of income, according to the Labor Force Survey.

Requirements: Who can request the minimum vital income

The requirements to apply for the Minimum Vital Income are several. In any case, the aid is for a family , not for people, so it will only be one of the adult members of the coexistence unit who requests it even if the income of several is taken into account.

In addition, Social Security has enabled a simulator to check if the requirements for access to aid are met.

The requirements are:

- Be between 23 and 65 years old , unless there are minors in charge, and prove legal and effective residence in Spain without interruption for at least one year before the application.

- In addition to the type of home, the amounts of this aid will depend on the income and family assets , excluding the habitual residence. In principle, people who in their 2019 income statement prove not reaching the Minimum Guaranteed Income will be able to access the minimum income . However, those who have seen their income fall more than 50% in 2020, may request it by providing a Responsible Declaration.

What is the amount of the benefit

The minimum vital income support will go from 462 to 1,015 euros per household, an amount that depends on whether you have elderly people or dependent children, and on the income declared in 2019.

Thus, the aid includes an increase of 139 euros for each cohabitant as well as a supplement of 100 euros per year for single-parent families.

When will the minimum vital income be collected?

This June 1, the Minimum Life Income has entered into force, although it cannot be requested until June 15. Those who ask for help between June 15 and September 15 will charge it based on the first day of operation. While those who request it later, will receive the aid the following month.

How to apply for the Minimum Vital Income

The Minimum Life Income may be requested from June 15 at the Social Security electronic headquarters .
