Recognition of the increase in benefits to people affected by the ERTE that corresponds to having dependent sons or daughters

In order to accelerate the recognition of the collective requests that companies are presenting with the list of workers affected by files of contract suspension and reduction of working hours due to force majeure, or due to economic, technical, organizational and production causes, initially only They have taken into account dependent sons and daughters, about whom the State Public Employment Service (SPEE) had information in its system.

Once we have recognized the benefits of all the people affected by ERTE, the SPEE will automatically regularize the increase in the amounts to those who are entitled and the information on dependent sons and daughters is not available, without the affected people having to make any claim.

If the number of dependent sons or daughters changes while you receive unemployment benefit, it could affect its amount, since it would be necessary to review the minimum and maximum limits of said amount. If your spouse's situation changes, it does not affect your unemployment benefit.

If you are receiving unemployment benefits and there is a change in the situation of the people who make up your family unit (including your spouse) for various reasons (employment or unemployment, birth or death, among others), it may affect the maintenance of the benefit. If to access it you had to demonstrate family responsibilities, or it may even involve a change in the type of subsidy you receive if you go from not having a burden to having them in the twelve months following the event that caused the unemployment benefit.

It is very important to communicate to the State Public Employment Service (SPEE) the changes that occur in the number of members of your family unit and in the economic or employment situation of those who make it up so that the new situation can be reviewed and adjustments made. necessary (for example, a change in the amount of the benefit or the temporary withdrawal of the subsidy due to loss of requirements).

If you are receiving a subsidy and you do not communicate the variations, it could cause you significant harm, since, if they are detected, and as a consequence of them, you are improperly receiving said subsidy, a sanctioning procedure will be initiated for serious infringement that could end with its extinction.
