Work compatible with the collection of the extraordinary unemployment benefit
One of the biggest problems in the labour market in Spain is that of the long-term unemployed, that is, those workers who have been looking for a job for at least 12 months and have not worked throughout this period.
The coronavirus crisis has worsened this situation, increasing the number of long-term unemployed by almost 2 million people, growing by 52% compared to 2020.
In addition, the long-term unemployed are usually over 45 years of age, an age at which it becomes more difficult to find a new job and re-enter the labour market. The pandemic has also imposed more hardship on such workers.
Although the labour market has already reached figures prior to the health crisis and unemployment registered its largest monthly decline in June, the truth is that there are still thousands of people who are in this situation and who depend on a subsidy to make ends meet.
If this is your case, surely you know the existence of the extraordinary unemployment benefit, a benefit that is aimed at unemployed workers who have already exhausted all the benefits, and that is also specially designed for the long-term unemployed.
This grant is 451,92 euros per month, and can cash out the long-term unemployed who do not have the right to unemployment benefit habitual, that do not have the typical age of retirement, not to exceed in monthly rents 75% of the minimum wage (712,50 euros per month), who have family responsibilities and who have not claimed before this grant.
The aid you can receive for 180 days and can also apply for those who have exhausted the payment of unemployment benefits, the Active Insertion Income (RAI), Temporary Unemployment Protection and integration (PRODI) or Program of Professional Requalification of the people who exhaust their unemployment protection, according to details of the SEPE.
This is one of the most common doubts that arise when applying for this help. The SEPE explains that it is possible to combine the benefit with a job, but if certain conditions are met.
The main condition is clear: the benefit can only be compatible with part-time work, so it is not possible for self-employed or full-time workers.
Another requirement is that the salary you receive at work does not exceed 75% of the minimum interprofessional wage, in that case it will not be possible to access the collection of the benefit while you are working.
But this is not all you need to know about matching extraordinary unemployment benefit with a job. One of the hardest conditions is that the amount of the benefit will be reduced in relation to the number of hours worked, so you will end up receiving half of the benefit.
