This agreement can be signed by the person who is designated as a carer in the Resolution recognising the financial benefit for care in the family environment and support for non-professional carers and, as such, is considered a non-professional carer in the Individual Care Programme (PIA), provided that the dependent person for whom they are caring receives the financial benefit for family care regulated in Law 39/2003, of 14 December.

The condition of non-professional carer may be assumed by persons who meet the requirements established in the regulations governing the benefits of the System for Autonomy and Care for Dependency. In general terms:

• Spouse
• Relative up to 3rd degree
• Person in the close environment of the dependent person
  

It shall not be subscribed if the person concerned is in any of the following situations:

• Performing a professional activity for which they must be included in the Social Security System. However, the following cases are excepted:
  • The agreement can be signed when the carer is already working and reduces their working hours to care for the dependent person, provided that the contribution basis for these activities is lower than the base corresponding to the agreement.
  • Non-professional carers can also subscribe to it, regardless of whether they continue or start a professional activity, provided that the contribution basis for these activities is lower than the base corresponding to the agreement.

In these cases, the contribution basis of the agreement is reduced and will be the difference between the base corresponding to the agreement according to the degree of dependency and the base of the activity carried out.

• Registration in RETA, even if their contribution base is lower than that which would correspond to them under the agreement.
• Receiving unemployment benefit. However, it can be combined with part-time contributory unemployment benefit, provided that the contribution basis for unemployment benefit is lower than the base corresponding to the collective agreement.
• Retirement and Permanent Disability Pensioner
• Widow/widower pensioner or in favour of relatives and is 65 years of age or older
• During periods of leave from work for family care, which are considered actual contribution periods
• During periods of reduced working hours, which are considered actual contribution periods
• Recipient of a non-contributory pension
• Recipient of a foreign pension
• Recipient of benefits from external schemes (MUFACE, ISFAS...)
• Registered professional having opted for the alternative mutual insurance scheme to RETA

This type of special agreement does not require a contribution period prior to the application.

The protective action provided by this special agreement will be that corresponding to:

• Retirement
• Permanent Disability resulting from an accident of any kind, or from sickness of whatever nature
• Widow/Widower's Pension, orphanhood and other benefits in favour of family members resulting from accidents, whatever their nature, or from sickness, irrespective of their nature
• Occupational Training
  

The application for the Special Agreement shall be made, at any time, once the financial benefit for family care of the dependent person has been recognised by the corresponding Autonomous Community, by means of the means provided in the section "Formalities and formalities for Special Agreements".

The effects will be:

• If the financial benefit is applied for within 90 calendar days of the date of recognition of the financial benefit for family care of the dependent person, the effects of the special agreement shall be from that date of recognition of the financial benefit.
• If requested after the above deadline, the effects of the agreement shall take effect from the date of the application of the special agreement.

This agreement can be made compatible with the following situations:

• With part-time work or, when the contribution basis for the activity is lower than that of the special agreement
• With part-time contributory unemployment benefit if the benefit base is lower than the contractual basis
• With unemployment benefits for those over 52 years of age
• With the active insertion income
• With the unemployment benefit for permanent and continuous workers under the General Scheme
• With the voluntary special agreement for non-professional carers
• With another carers' agreement for the care of two or more dependants, provided that the sum of the contribution bases of the agreements does not exceed the minimum contribution basis of the General Scheme.
  

The agreement for this group will be terminated on any of the following grounds:

• If the interested party is included, due to the performance of an activity in the field of application of any Social Security System and the new base that corresponds to the activity is equal to or greater than the base of the agreement
• Due to the carer acquiring the status of holder of a retirement pension or permanent disability pension
• Due to the carer acquiring the status of holder of a widow's or widower's pension, when they are 65 or older, in any of the Regimes of the Social Security Schemes.
• For non-payment of instalments, payable by the subscriber, corresponding to 3 consecutive monthly payments or 5 alternative monthly payments, when the subscriber is responsible for payment.
• If the person cared for dies or the economic benefit for family care collected this person expires, or if the carer dies
• If the carer stops providing the care
• If the requirements of 615/2007 are no longer met
• Death of the subscriber
• At the request of the interested party, in the case of complementary agreements whose payment is borne by the subscriber
