Emergency financial assistance for single mothers

For the purposes of the Treasury and personal income tax, it is considered that the mother and disabled minor or adult children with whom she lives form a family unit, and as such a series of deductions may be applied

There are discounts and reductions on the impossible basis when the family unit is single parent. The amount depends on the number of children and whether any of them have a disability

Self-employed or employed mothers with a child under 3 years of age can receive a deduction of up to 1,200 euros for government loans for single parents each child under 3 years of age. If the child is adopted or fostered, it will be during the first 3 years from the registration in the Civil Registry or court decision.

New deductions are in force for employed or self-employed workers that depend on family circumstances: descendants or ascendants with disabilities, due to being a large family

Each Autonomous Community has established its own deductions from the regional income tax quota

When a single mother has to recognize maintenance pensions for minor or elderly children with disabilities in a judicial resolution or a judicial agreement , and the other parent does not pay them, this Fund advances the pension (in whole or in part).

The social services of the City Councils and the Autonomous Communities have various aids, ranging from information and guidance, to home help or support for the family unit (personal, educational, domestic care ...), day centers or the " family respite ”, soup kitchens. In this case it is necessary to go to each Autonomous Community or City Council to consult the aid.

The Ministry has a series of Scholarships for studies both for tuition fees, materials, courses, even abroad to learn languages ​​... Each scholarship has a series of requirements and income limits that are established in the bases of each call.
