Los beneficiarios del Ingreso Mínimo Vital son ya más de 1,7 millones

The Minimum Vital Income (IMV) has reached 595,511 households in which 1,700,028 people live, according to statistics published by the National Social Security Institute (INSS) until the end of March. This benefit, which is paid by the Social Security, is having a special impact on the reduction of child poverty since, of the total number of beneficiaries, 43% are minors (731,805). In addition, if we consider the number of households, in 66% there is at least one minor (396,614).

According to these data, in two out of three households the benefit holder is a woman and, if the total number of beneficiaries is taken into account, 54.2 per cent are women (968,223).

Regarding the number of benefits with the Child Support Supplement (CAPI), there are already 343,130. The ICSC, which entered into force in January 2022, is an aid of 115 euros per household per month for children from 0 to 3 years old; of 80.5 euros per month for each child between 3 and 6 years old and of 57.5 euros per month for each child between 6 and 18 years old.

Bus and information tent of the IMV

In recent months, the Ministry of Inclusion, Social Security and Migration made available to citizens a bus and an information tent in which citizens interested both in knowing this benefit and the status of their application or who want to know if they are entitled to it and, if necessary, request it, could go without the need for an appointment. The aim of this new initiative has been to extend the scope of the IMV and ensure that all situations of poverty and exclusion are addressed.

These devices put in place by the Ministry have served a total of 4,321 people from 44 localities belonging to 16 autonomous communities and the cities of Ceuta and Melilla.
