Why should you claim the maternity supplement in your pension if you are a man?

In order to claim the maternity allowance, it will be necessary to comply with a series of requirements, which had not changed until recently. Royal Decree-Law 3/2021 establishes the regulations for the reduction of the gender gap in social and economic security.
The recognition of men to receive an additional percentage to their retirement for paternity is a significant fact.

Previously, this social assistance was intended only for women, but the decree changed its legal nature. Carlos Baño León lawyers will explain the details of this manifesto.

Which men can claim maternity allowance?

You must meet one requirement to claim the maternity supplement, which is to have earned a pension between January 1, 2016 and February 3, 2021. If you meet this condition, and at the same time you have two or more biological or adopted children, you will be able to apply.

Before continuing, it is necessary to clarify the percentage attributed to this assistance. Depending on the number of children of the retiree, between 5% and 15% of the established pension amount will be granted. In the same vein, the types of retirements contemplated in the regulations of the Royal Decree are as follows:

Early Retirement
Ordinary retirement
Retirement due to permanent disability
Widow’s pension
