When the issue of pensions is mentioned, it must be taken into account that they vary according to multiple factors such as the regulatory base, economic income or the quotation years. HOh cases in which the remaining pension is below what we consider as a minimum pensionthat is, the lowest amount that can be charged.
In these cases, it is always possible to request supplements to increase this benefit and thus reach the guaranteed amount. Alfonso Muñoz Cuenca, Social Security official, explained on his YouTube channel Who can receive these accessories and how much their amount can be.
Who can receive the accessories for receiving a lower pension than the minimum?
To delimit the beneficiaries of these possible accessories, Cuenca has clarified that they can only receive them “those pensioners whose amount of pension is below the minimal pension established.” And they can only do it, “as long as They do not exceed an established level of income without taking into account the amount of your pension. ”
In addition, he explained that the amount to be received will not be a fixed amount, but will depend on two factors: the contribution base and the quoted years. “It is not the same to quote for 10,000 euros as for 3,000, for example. A higher base, the greater the amount of pension,” he clarifies.
The amount of the minimum pension changes every year
Each situation is personal and Alfonso Muñoz invites all pensioners to be aware of this matter, since the minimum amounts change every year and some may be receiving a lower amount. “The government approves a minimum pension picture every year, Whether they are retirement, disability or widowhood. Amount that depend on the age of the beneficiary and its family situation, ”he concludes.
