Automated translation of an article from the Moncloa website, we’ll add more details from the publication in the State Gazette when necessary.
Aid for self-employed workers is extended until January 31, 2021, specifically the benefits for termination (Cese de actividad) compatible with the activity and for seasonal self-employed workers. See earlier article.
A new extraordinary benefit for suspension of activity will be directed to those self-employed workers with a temporary suspension of all their activity as a result of a resolution of the competent administrative authorities for the containment of the COVID-19 pandemic.
These benefits will begin to accrue with effect from October 1, 2020 and will have a maximum duration of 4 months, provided that the application is submitted within the first fifteen calendar days of October. Otherwise, the effects are set on the first day of the month following the presentation of the application.
To cover those who do not meet the requirements to access the benefit compatible with the activity (for example, due to having a flat rate (Tarifa Plana) or not having contributed during the last twelve months) a new low-income aid is created. Note from CAB: You need to apply with your Mutua, or ask your gestor to do so for you. If you file the application until the 15th of October, it will, when approved, have effect as of the 1st of October. If you file it after the 15th, it will have effect as of the first of the following month.
