As far as I know there is no child benefit as such. Depending on your living circumstances you might qualify for ‘ayuda’ - help, for different things such as books for school, etc. I have a 2 year old and as I work I qualify for 100 euros a month to help towards child care but this is only until she goes into pre-school at 3 years old. You have to go to the tax office and ask them as no one will tell you without being prompted. Hope this helps.
I agree with Sallock as far as I know there are NONE. Spain does not hand out benefits like the UK to one and all. If a worker who has worked in the system and paid taxes is made redundant there are limited state benefits. Tax allowances are given for workers who have children. Basically its a case of work and make a living and of course in Spain the family helps.
Yes, child benefit exists but it?s only 25? per child per month, it?s paid into your bank account twice a year but you can only benefit for it if you jointly earn less than 10,000? a year. Now, the government are paying 2,500? to babies when they are born and 100? a month until they are three years old. Nothing really compared to the UK. :blank:
