Subject of the Benefit
-
The purpose of the family hardship benefit is to ensure that students can continue studying until the normal completion of the course, including doctorate studies when circumstances arise in which it is impossible to continue the studies as a direct result of the financial situation in the home.
-
This benefit is granted in the following cases:
-
Death of the head of household. The head of household is therefore considered both the father and the mother, as long as both contribute earnings to the family income.
-
Family bankruptcy. Under no circumstances is this considered to be the permanent lack of economic resources to pay for the studies.
