The Government finally reveals that only 376,073 families are receiving the Minimum Income, 44% of those it wanted to cover. The Tax Authority refutes Escrivá: the real number of households that receive the IMV is half of what Social Security claims.

The data show that aid penetration is lower than might be expected. In the accumulated of the last four years, the Government has disbursed 3,560 million euros in benefits. In February the total number of families receiving the benefit amounted to 557,405.
