A lump-sum financial benefit that is granted for the birth or adoption of a child into large families or families which, for this reason, acquire said status, as well as into single-parent families and cases in which the mother or father has a degree of disability greater than or equal to 65%, as long as a certain level of income is not exceeded.

The benefit is not granted in the event of family foster care.

Beneficiaries/ requirements

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.

Determination of the beneficiary

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.

Amount

The payment will be made in a lump sum of up to €1,000.00, provided that the beneficiary's income does not exceed the established limit.
Amount for differences: when any form of annual income received exceeds the established limit (Lm) but is lower than the joint amount resulting from adding the benefit amount to this limit (ML), the amount payable will be equal to the difference between the income received by the beneficiary and the indicated joint amount.
The benefit will not be granted if the difference described in the previous paragraph is less than 10.00 euros.

The following income limits are considered depending on whether or not the beneficiary is part of a large family and has three or more dependent children or minors.
