New payment for mothers of newly born children

As from this week parents in Spain can apply for 2500 euros per child born since 3rd July

Mallorca Applications opened yesterday for the new payment of 2,500 euros to be paid by the Spanish state to mothers for each child born since 3rd July. Applications can be made in local tax offices or by internet by going to the website for the Ministry of Work, Finance and Economics. A free telephone information service will also soon be available.

Last Friday the Spanish cabinet approved a bill for the new law which gives 2,500 euros to mothers for each child born. The bill was passed to parliament for processing. It is expected to become law as from next December.

The new law allows for a one off payment of 2.500 euros to be made to mothers for children born since 0.00 hours on 3rd July 2007, the date on which the Spanish president, José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, announced the new measure. The payment will be made to mothers who have legal residence in Spain and in the case of foreign residentes, those who have been living legally in Spain for at least 2 years.

It is expected that the bill will become law in November and the government hopes that the first payments will be made the following month in December.
