The Social Security system paid 9,754,740 pensions in June, which represents a slight increase compared to May and, more importantly, the first increase in the last three months . In March, April and May, the number of contributory benefits was reduced as a consequence of the coronavirus crisis.

On the one hand, the confinement measures themselves and the paralysis of many processes caused the number of discharges to moderate, but also, the deaths caused by the pandemic, especially among the elderly, made the number of recipients be lower and, therefore, the total number of pensions.

"The data reflects the effect of the pandemic on pension movements. In part, they are a consequence of the closing of offices, which stopped paying in-person attention, and the situation of confinement, which caused many citizens to postpone their efforts with Security However, it is also necessary to take into account how the Covid-19 pandemic has influenced in terms of mortality on the population as a whole and, to a greater extent, on the group of older people, "he points out. this Friday the Ministry itself led by José Luis Escrivá.

In June, on the other hand, the figure increased although, it is true, in a very slight figure: 603 benefits . This number indicates that the consequences of the pandemic are still being felt in the Social Security system.

Payroll also increases

Monthly pension spending also grew in June after, in this case, a month of decline . The disbursement reached 9,862 million euros, although the data is still below the historical maximum that was set in April. Until the moment the pandemic broke out, Social Security invariably chained record after record, a situation that the coronavirus has also modified. To this figure we must add 9,586 million more than the system has had to disburse also this month as a result of the extraordinary pay that pensioners receive.

As for the average benefits, all remain at levels very similar to those of the previous month. Thus, the retirement pension is 1,161 euros, the widow's pension is 725 euros and the average benefit of the system amounts to 1,011 euros.
