After the last session of the Council of Ministers, the Government has approved the new maternity and paternity supplement to retirement pensions . Through these measures, a series of changes will be implemented with regard to the old maternity supplement. The most relevant thing is that from now on parents will also have the right to this supplement , and that it can be requested from the first child and not the second. The modifications have been published in Royal Decree-Law 3/2021 of February 3, 2021 , and have the objective of adopting measures that reduce the gender gap in pensions. The reform has been carried out after the European Court of Justice considered that the supplement was discriminatory for fathers , since only mothers could access it.
This means that men who prove that their paternity has been detrimental to their professional career may request this supplement to their pension. "This modification eliminates the risk of it Europe Cell Phone Number List being seen as discrimination against men ," explained the Minister of Inclusion, Social Security and Migration, José Luis Escrivá, at the press conference after the Council of Ministers. Of course, later the minister clarified that the recipients of this aid will be women "in 98 of the cases" , since only one member of the couple can receive it and the one who receives a lower pension will have preference, which is usually almost always be the woman.
The Government includes a mechanism to distribute the cost of pensions between different generations of workers in the reform proposal that it has sent to Brussels Another important aspect of the modification in this complement is that it can be requested from the first child , without having to wait for the second, as has been the case until now. In addition, the maternity and paternity supplement will become a fixed amount of 400 euros per year in the beneficiary's pension for each child . The previous law allowed a 5% increase in a woman's pension if she had 2 children, 10% if she had 3, and 15% if she had 4 or more. If neither parent can prove that they have suffered harm in their professional career by having at least one child, the aid will be granted directly to the woman , or to the one who receives a lower pension in the case of a same-sex couple.
