Las parejas con hijos tendrán derecho a la pensión de viudedad si acreditan dos años de convivencia
El decreto ley que prevé aprobar este martes el Consejo de Ministros, y que deberá convalidar la Diputación Permanente, equipara a estos convivientes con los matrimonios y las parejas de hecho
Relationships with children will now be eligible for a widow's pension without the need for marriage or formal cohabitation, as per a decree law to be approved by the Council of Ministers on Tuesday, according to the latest document EL PAÍS obtained and the government's late plan. The text equalizes non-legally bound convicts with married couples and living-together partners, who previously could apply for the benefit.
This echoes a measure previously proposed by the Executive to labor unions and business groups in negotiations to reform temporary incapacity, which was detailed in a text in July. Now, the Social Security proposal reaches the Cabinet meeting as part of a norm that will take effect upon legislative approval within a month. For the measure to remain in place, it must first be validated by the Legislative branch within a month.
The government finds this process easier now, as it does not need the favorable vote of Junts before the dissolution of the Cortes.
