Economic benefit for the birth or adoption of a child, in cases of large families, single parent families and in the case of disabled mothers.

The originators of this right will be children born or adopted after 16-11-07 into a large family or a family that, as a result of the birth or adoption, becomes large; by a single-parent family;  by a mother or father who has a disability equal to or greater than 65%;  provided that the child was born in Spain or the adoption was constituted or recognised by the competent Spanish authorities. To this end:

• A child shall be considered as having been born,when he/she meets the provisions determined by Article 30 of the Civil Code: "The status of person is acquired following a live birth, having been fully removed from the mother's womb".

• To be considered a large family, the provisions of Law 40/2003 of 18 November in the protection of large families, shall apply.

• A single-parent family shall be understood as a family comprising “only one parent” with whom the child or adopted child lives and who is the sole breadwinner of said family.

  
  

• In the case of large  families, the beneficiary will be:
  • If the parents or foster parents live together, either of the parents or foster parents by mutual agreement. If no agreement is reached, the recipient will, where appropriate, be the mother.
    
  • If the parents or foster parents do not live together, the beneficiary will be the person who has guardianship and custody of the child.
  
  
• In cases of single-parent families: the parent with whom the biological or adopted child lives and who is the only person in the family in receipt of income.
  
• In cases of mothers or fathers with disabilities: the beneficiary will be the mother who proves a disability greater than or equal to 65%.
  
• When the child has been orphaned following the death of both parents or foster parents or is abandoned, the beneficiary will be the person who has guardianship of the child.

• When both parents or adoptive parents have the same circumstances needed to become recipients, the right to receive the benefit will only be granted to one of them.



• The benefit is incompatible with the parents or adoptive parents receiving any other similar benefit established for the other state welfare protection schemes (MUFACE, ISFAS, MUGEJU?).



• When the beneficiaries have the right to the same benefit from several state welfare protection schemes for the same originator, they must choose one of them.
