| The basic beneficiaries are domestic and temporary employees | The Government of Spain has enabled the process that will allow, from this week, domestic workers and temporary employees without the right to benefit to apply for the extraordinary unemployment benefits approved at the end of March due to the coronavirus pandemic.The Official State Gazette (BOE) published on Monday two resolutions that set out the details of these extraordinary subsidies that must be processed before the State Public Employment Service (SEPE).In the case of domestic workers, who until now did not have this right, those who are dismissed or have had their working hours reduced since the entry into force of the state of alarm and throughout its validity may request it.

Those persons who were registered with Social Security before March 14, when the state of alarm came into force and who have stopped providing their services, will be entitled to the benefit.This measure, approved in the Council of Ministers more than a month ago, is intended to help a particularly vulnerable sector that is also mostly female.

However, many of the affected employees will not be able to access this help because they do not have an employment contract.The subsidy, for 70% of its regulatory base, is compatible with other activities as long as the Minimum Interprofessional Salary (SMI) of 950 euros per month is not exceeded.

On the contrary, it is incompatible with being a beneficiary of the temporary disability subsidy or if you have had the regulated recoverable paid leave.

Once approved, the resolution details, it will be charged on the 10th of each month for the entire duration of the measure.In the case of the extraordinary unemployment benefit for temporary workers whose contract ended during the state of alarm without having generated the right to any benefit, the Government indicates that this contract must be for at least two months and with an obligation to contribute due to the unemployment contingency.

.It is a subsidy incompatible with "being a recipient of the minimum income, inclusion income, social salary or similar aid granted by any Public Administration".

It is also with being working for yourself or someone else "full-time on the date of the termination of the contract or on the date of the birth of the exceptional subsidy," according to the resolutions.In this case, it is charged for a month and for an amount equivalent to 80% of the current monthly multiple-effect public income indicator, that is, about 440 euros per month.
