According to October data From the Ministry of Inclusion, Social Security and Migration, 773,272 households have received the Minimum Vital Income (IMV), providing coverage to 2,363,554 people. This represents an increase of 19.25% in the number of households that receive this benefit.
Until now, for receive the IMV It was necessary to make an application and provide the necessary documentation. As announced in your X profile the ministry headed by Elma Saiz, the gateway has been activated that will allow those people who have run out of unemployment benefits without having found a jobthey are automatically granted the IMV without having to carry out the ordinary procedures.
Expansion of coverage to vulnerable people. The Government has launched a system so that people who finish collecting unemployment and they are still unemployedbegin to collect the Minimum Vital Income (IMV) automatically, as long as they meet the requirements of the benefit. The Ministry’s statement emphasizes that the objective is that those who are in a situation of vulnerability They do not run out of income while trying to find work and they do not have to face more bureaucracy at a difficult time.
“With the launch of this gateway, we eliminate administrative barriers and make it easier for citizens in vulnerable situations to receive the help they need automatically, without cumbersome procedures or unnecessary delays,” said Minister Elma Saiz in the statement.
Official processing. The IMV granting gateway connects the end of the unemployment benefit with the start of the IMV to avoid an interruption in income in economically dependent households.
As explained by the ministry, during the quarter prior to the exhaustion of the unemployment benefit, the SEPE will notify the beneficiary that their aid is about to end and will inform them that they can authorize the sending of their data and that of their family unit to Social Security to process the IMV, as established in the simplification of IMV applications that regulated the Royal Decree-Law 2/2024.
Concession of office. If the person gives their consent, and meets the requirements, the SEPE has a maximum period of 10 days from the end of the unemployment benefit to send the application to the INSS to process the benefit.
When the right is recognizedthe Minimum Living Income comes into force on the same day it is unemployment benefit runs outso the first payment of the IMV occurs on the first day of the following month so that people in vulnerable situations “receive the help they need automatically, without cumbersome procedures or unnecessary delays.”

Automated management. The most important change is that the unemployed person does not have to submit a new application or provide additional documentation to access the IMV through this route.
The transmission of data is carried out ex officio by the SEPE, which eliminates “administrative burdens” and avoids in-person or telematic procedures that could previously delay the collection of aid.
Who is the measure aimed at?. As and as I pointed out The Newspaperthe measure is thought for people between 23 and 65 years old who exhaust their unemployment benefit and whose income does not exceed the limits set for each type of cohabitation unit. As a reference, the annual income limit for a single person is 7,250 euros and for a family of four this limit rises to 13,775 euros.
According to data provided by the Ministry, the average amount of the IMV is 473.41 euros per month per household, although this amount varies depending on the nature of each household. This aid is complemented with 115 euros per household per month in the case of children from 0 to 3 years old; 80.5 euros per month for each child between 3 and 6 years old; and 57.5 euros per month for each minor between 6 and 18 years old.
What happens if you cannot use the automatic route. If for any reason this automatic gateway cannot be used (because the unemployed person does not give consent or because data is missing), the option still exists. traditional application route.
In these cases, the IMV can be requested through the Social Security benefits portal, by mail or in person at the Social Security Assistance and Information Centers (CAISS). In addition, along with the new automatic processing platform, the 020 telephone number for assistance and information has also been enabled for the Minimum Living Income procedures.
