Some pensioners can receive an additional 454 euros a year, as long as they apply for this aid before March 31. Moreover, Social Security urges those who receive a low pension to request said supplement so that part of the money is not subtracted, taking into account that the Tax Agency needs to be informed about the level of income to verify if they continue to be entitled to the amount .
This is not a new mandatory procedure for all pensioners, but rather the minimum supplement, a complementary amount that is added to the amount of the contributory pension (retirement, widowhood or disability) when it does not reach the legally established minimum.
The Social Security magazine clarifies that only pensioners with a minimum supplement who in 2023 expect to receive accumulated income greater than the limit established for these supplements, which is 8,614 euros when they do not have a dependent spouse and are obliged to communicate their income. of 10,048 euros when you do have it, reports Efe.
The amount of the pension is not computed within this limit, but only income from capital gains and income from work, capital and economic activities. The pensioner is obliged to communicate before March 31 of each year a possible increase in income.
The requirements to receive a minimum supplement are: receive a pension that does not reach the minimum amount established for each case (retirement, widowhood or disability); not receive income from work, capital or economic activities and capital gains greater than the income limit established based on their family situation and, finally, reside in Spanish territory.
To communicate this income it is not necessary to go to an office, the pensioner can do it through the electronic headquarters of the Social Security, on the Your Social Security portal or without a digital certificate on the platform for online procedures without a certificate. The process can also be carried out by postal mail by completing and sending the Declaration of income form for pensions with minimums.
The managing entities of the Social Security may require the recipients of supplements for minimums a statement of income and income, as well as their patrimonial assets and, where appropriate, the contribution of the tax returns submitted.
