Yes.

To apply for the aid, the sum of the income of all persons living in the same home, obtained in 2021, must be less than 14,000 gross euros per year (that is, the gross amount received without deducting expenses or withholdings) and their assets must be less than 43,196.40 euros per year. Income and assets will be determined by considering the income and assets of all persons residing with the beneficiary at the same address as of January 1, 2022 and who are united together:

  • as a spouse or partner for at least two years in advance
  • by kinship up to the third degree, including affinities (examples: children, siblings, grandparents, uncles, daughter-in-law, grandchildren…),
  • as well as those who live with any of the above by virtue of guardianship for the purposes of adoption or permanent foster care.

The income and assets of the persons who live with the applicant at the same address as of January 1, 2022 and have a relationship between them must be taken into account, which may be:

  • matrimonial or partner agreement at least two years in advance,
  • relationship of kinship up to the third degree, including affinities (examples: children, siblings, grandparents, uncles, daughter-in-law, grandchildren…),
  • as well as those who live with any of the above by virtue of guardianship for the purposes of adoption or permanent foster care.

Therefore, the income and assets of other people living in the same household who are not linked by the above ties will not be taken into account.

Kinship relationships up to the third degree, including both consanguinity and affinity, would be those that refer to relationships with children, parents, in-laws, sons/daughters-in-law, grandparents, siblings, grandchildren, brothers-in-law, uncles, nephews, great-grandparents and great-grandchildren.

The income and the amount of the beneficiary's assets will be calculated in accordance with the provisions of article 20, sections 1, 4 and 5 of Law 19/2021, of December 20, which establishes the Minimum Vital Income.

Therefore, for the calculation of assets the habitual residence will not be taken into account.
