If you have recently arrived in Spain and are over 52 years old, you should know that there is government monetary aid for these people, if they meet some requirements. How to collect this subsidy in the Iberian country? We tell you below.
In a labor market where age can be a barrier, unemployment can become a storm for those over 50. However, the State Public Employment Service (SEPE) of Spain offers a lifeline: the subsidy (monetary aid) for those over 52 years of age. This financial aid allows you to stay afloat while you look for a new job and approach retirement age.
What does this subsidy consist of? It is an economic benefit that helps you cover your basic needs while you are unemployed. The amount you receive depends on your income and the duration of unemployment, but it can be up to 480 euros per month in 2024.
The subsidy can be collected until you reach retirement age, as long as you continue to meet the requirements. This aid for people over 52 years of age from SEPE can help you navigate this difficult time and approach retirement with peace of mind, according to local media.
