Complementing the reduction of the gender gap

Women and men who are in receipt of a contributory retirement pension (except for partial retirement), permanent disability pension or widow's/widower's pension as of 4 February 2021 and who have had one or more children.
When accessing full retirement from partial retirement, the supplement shall be recognised, if the requirements are met.

The amount  of the supplement shall be set in the corresponding law on the general State budget for each year.
In 2023, the amount is €30.40 per month for each child, subject to a limit of four times this amount.
The supplement is not taken into account in the application of the maximum limit for contributory pensions or for determining the supplement for pensions below the minimum.

From  the date on which the contributory Social Security pension that determines entitlement to the supplement takes effect.
The recognition of the supplement for the second parent, which will entail the extinction of the supplement recognised for the first parent, will take effect on the first day of the month following that of the decision, if it is issued within the six months following the application or, where applicable, the recognition of the pension that gives rise to it; after this period, the effects will be from the first day of the seventh month.

The supplement is paid monthly with two extra pays paid in the months of June and November.

Receipt of the supplement is incompatible with receipt of this supplement by the other parent for the same children.
If there are two female parents, the one who receives the smaller of the two public pensions shall be recognised.
In the event that the parents are a woman and a man who meet the above-mentioned requirements, the man may receive it if the sum of the amounts of his recognised pensions is less than the sum of the pensions corresponding to the woman.
If both parents are men, the parent who receives the smaller of the two public pensions shall be recognised.

In cases where the pension which determines entitlement to the supplement is caused, in application of international regulations, by aggregation of periods completed in other countries, the supplement shall be paid in the proportional part according to the pro rata applied to the pension to which it is attached.

People who, on 4-2-2021, were receiving the demographic contribution maternity supplement will continue to receive it.

The receipt of the maternity supplement will be incompatible with the new contributory pension supplement for the reduction of the gender gap, and the persons concerned may choose between one or the other.

If the other parent of one of the children who was entitled to the maternity supplement applies for the contributory pension supplement and is entitled to receive it, the monthly amount recognised shall be deducted from the maternity supplement, with financial effects from the first day of the month following that of the decision, provided that the decision is issued within six months of the application or, where applicable, of the recognition of the pension that gave rise to it; after this period, the effects shall take effect from the first day of the seventh month following that of the decision.
