Managing your benefit: all the common tasks
You already receive el paro or a subsidy and need to check or change something.
-
Check the status of your claim
See online whether your claim is approved, how much you get and until when.
-
Download a benefit certificate
For the bank, a rental contract or the tax office: the official proof of what you receive (or that you receive nothing).
-
Change the bank account for your benefit
Do it as soon as you switch banks: a wrong account number delays a whole month of payments.
-
Renew your registration (sellar el paro)
The obligation you cannot forget: renew your jobseeker registration on the dates on your document, or payments stop.
-
Working while on benefits
What you can combine, what you must report and how to avoid paying money back.
-
Keeping your benefit when leaving Spain
Rules for trips abroad and for taking your benefit to another EU country.
While you wait
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to tell SEPE if I find a job?
Yes, always. Reporting it prevents wrong payments that you would later have to pay back with a surcharge. The working-while-on-benefits guide explains how and when.
What happens if I forget to renew my registration?
Your registration lapses and payments can be suspended. If you had a valid reason, such as a hospital stay, reactivate it as soon as possible and bring proof.
Can I do all these tasks without a digital certificate?
Many of them yes, with Cl@ve or in person with a free appointment. With a digital certificate or permanent Cl@ve, all of them take minutes online.
