Child Poverty Aid: Who Qualifies and What You Get

Learn if your family qualifies for monthly financial assistance for children living in extreme poverty in Spain.

Child Poverty Aid is a government program designed to provide monthly financial support to families raising children in extreme poverty.

Who it's for

This scheme is specifically intended for families living in Spain who are experiencing extreme poverty. To qualify, your household must meet the specific poverty criteria set by the government to ensure the support reaches those in the most difficult economic circumstances.

What you get

The primary benefit of this scheme is a monthly financial aid payment. This amount is provided for each child in your household, offering recurring support to help cover the costs of raising children during times of extreme financial hardship.

What it costs you

There is no direct monetary fee required to apply for this aid. The process is managed digitally, so the main requirement is the time and effort needed to complete the application via the Social Security portal. You will need to navigate the official online system to submit your request.

The catch to know

The most important thing to verify is whether this aid overlaps with the Minimum Vital Income (IMV). Because these two programs are both designed to support people in need, you must check your current status to see if you are already receiving the IMV and how it affects your eligibility for this additional support.

How to apply

  1. Access the official Social Security portal to begin your request.
  2. Review your household's financial situation to ensure it meets the extreme poverty requirements.
  3. Complete the necessary digital forms provided on the portal.
  4. Submit your application for review by the Ministerio de Derechos Sociales.
