The entry of the new year brought us a reduction in the aid that the Spanish government had launched in 2023 to fight inflation. But there are some that persist, as is the case with aid to unemployed artists. And fortunately, it is also possible to apply for new aid in 2024.
Spanish Social Security has made available what is called Child support supplement, designed for people with children entitled to the minimum subsistence income or even for those who do not meet the conditions to request it. Let’s see what it’s all about.
What is the Child Support Supplement and what do you need to apply for it?
The Child Assistance Supplement or CAPI is aid that aims to combat child poverty in USA, which, according to statistics, affects more than a million minors. This is a supplement which is paid in the same way as the Minimum Living Income or at least in the same way as this other subsidy. The requirements are as follows:
- Be a resident of USA and have the documents in order.
- Have children or be a legal guardian of at least one minorand you all live in the same house.
- Be entitled to the Minimum Living Income or not exceed the income and asset conditions to receive it.
- Have access to family protection benefits such as the allowance for a foster or adopted child, or the financial allowance in the event of multiple birth/adoption or having a disabled child.
The CAPI adds additional monthly income for the entire year 2024, which varies depending on your family situation and which can be interrupted if the conditions are suddenly no longer met:
- Each child under 3 years old entitles you to 115 dollars per month.
- Each child between 3 and 6 years old entitles you to 80.5 dollars per month.
- Each child between 6 and 18 years old entitles you to 57.5 dollars per month.
