The Government tries to facilitate access to the new aid of 200 euros so as not to repeat the failure of the previous check

The new check for 200 euros that the Government announced at the end of last year, within its package of measures against inflation,

at the Tax Agency.

And to avoid another failure like the one that occurred with the previous aid for the same amount, the Treasury will facilitate the process, relax the access conditions and, ultimately, will try to ensure that this action really reaches a large number of beneficiaries.

The official estimate is that the check will reach more than four million beneficiaries, although the previous performance promised that it would reach 2.7 million and it was only 600,000 people.

.

For this reason, the first thing the Government decided is to raise the maximum income threshold to request aid from 14,000 to 27,000 euros.

Likewise, applicants may not accumulate assets of more than 75,000 euros without having their habitual residence.

But there is more.

Another key to trying to reach a larger number of citizens is that

The term to do so is up to three months counting from the date on which the period for submitting the form ends.

That day is March 31, so the

This is already in the summer, when inflation and the price of the shopping basket should have dropped significantly.

From the Treasury, however, they expect a significant number of cases to be resolved and paid much sooner.

They will be those in which the verifications are simpler and the Tax Agency does not depend on another body or area of ​​the Administration.

A clear example, once again, will be people without legal ties to another person or dependent children or parents.

The check for 200 euros will also be an opportunity to offset the scant impact that the VAT reduction has had on basic foods.

Yesterday, Fedea warned that the measure

expected six months of application.

"In total, the fiscal cost will be about 700 million euros, of which
