For pensions below the minimum
The amount of non-concurrent pensions, once revised, shall be supplemented where necessary in order to reach the minimum amount.
Limit on income and other requirements:
-
The minimum supplements are non-consolidable and will be absorbed into any future increases in payments received by the interested party, either as a result of revisions or the awarding of new periodic benefits which give rise to the simultaneous payment of different pensions, which is regulated under the terms set forth in the following chapter of this royal decree. In this last case, the absorption of the minimum supplement will take effect from the first day of the month following the decision to award the new pension.
-
Minimum supplements shall be incompatible with the pensioner receiving income from work, capital or economic activities and capital gains according to the item established for such income in the IRPF and calculated according to the provisions of article 59 of the LGSS, when such income exceeds 8,614.00 euros per year.
-
When the annual income referred to in the above paragraph plus the income corresponding to the pension are less than 8,614.00 euros plus the annual minimum sum for the type of pension in question, a supplement will be awarded to make up the difference, divided over the corresponding number of months.
-
The interested party shall be understood to meet the requirements described in the previous paragraphs when they can show that the income they are set to receive in 2023, calculated as provided for in section 2, will be 8,614.00 euros or less.
-
Pensioners who, over the course of 2023, receive an accumulated income that exceeds the limit referred to in the previous section will have to inform the management bodies of this fact within a month from the date said circumstance arises.
-
In order to prove earnings or income, the Social Security management organisms can at any given time request a declaration from the recipients of minimum supplements, as well as their property assets and, where applicable, that they provide their submitted tax statements.
-
The minimum assigned to pensions for severe disability includes the two elements that make up the pension (pension and supplement for the person that assists the severely disabled person).
-
With regard to pensions for which an individual has become eligible since 01-01-2013, in order to be eligible to receive the supplement to reach the minimum pension amount, the beneficiary must be a resident of Spain. For pensions for which an individual has become eligible since that date, the supplement cannot in any circumstances be greater than the amount established each financial year for non-contributory retirement or disability pensions.
-
When the orphan's pension awarded from 01-01-2013 increases by the amount of the widow/widower's pension, the limit on minimum supplements will only apply to the widow/widower's pension that leads to the increase in the orphan's pension.
-
Pensioners with a severe disability who receive the supplement to pay the person who assists them, will not be affected by the limit established in section 6.
-
When the minimum pension supplement is requested after the pension has been awarded, it will be backdated for three months from the date of the request, provided that, at that moment, the applicant met all the requirements that make them eligible to receive said supplement.
