Royal Decree-Law 3\/2021 establishes regulations aimed at reducing the gender gap in social security and economic matters.<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">The fact that men are now eligible to receive an additional percentage of their retirement benefits as a paternity allowance is a significant development. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Previously, this social assistance was intended solely for women, but the decree changed its legal status. At Carlos Ba\u00f1o Le\u00f3n Attorneys, we will explain the details of this decree to you.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Which men are eligible to claim maternity leave benefits?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">You must meet one requirement to claim the maternity supplement: you must have started receiving a pension between January 1, 2016, and February 3, 2021. If you meet this condition and also have two or more biological or adopted children, you may apply.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Before proceeding, it is necessary to clarify the percentage allocated to this benefit. Depending on the number of children the retiree has, between 5% and 15% will be added to the established pension amount. Similarly, the types of pensions covered by the provisions of the Royal Decree are as follows:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Early Retirement<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Standard Retirement<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Retirement due to permanent disability<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Widow's Pension<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>As previously explained, the eligible amount may vary, since earlier pensions have different proportions. However, they are governed by the same legal provisions. Similarly, the procedure for obtaining them is the same.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>How do men apply for maternity leave benefits?<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_34067\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-34067\" style=\"width: 2000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-34067 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cbleon-abogados.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/reclamar-el-complemento-de-maternidad-para-hombres.jpg\" alt=\"claim the maternity allowance for men\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-34067\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">claim the maternity allowance for men<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">A preliminary analysis is required to begin the application process.
