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.

  
  

The parents or adoptive parents, on the birth or adoption of a child, provided that:

• They have their legal residence in Spain.
  
• They do not receive annual income, of any kind, in excess of the limits established annually in the corresponding General State Budget Law. In cases of cohabitation, if the sum of the income of the parents or adoptive parents exceeds the established limits, neither of them will be recognised as beneficiaries.
  
• They have no right to benefits of the same nature under any other public social protection regime.

• 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.

The benefit is compatible with:

• Benefits as a result of multiple birth or adoption by the same subject. 
• Economic allocation per child or minor in foster care.
• The orphan's pension and pension for grandchildren and siblings, where applicable.
• Other similar awards granted by a Local or Autonomous Community Administration.
• Thespecial maternity allowance for multiple births by the same subject.

• 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.
