Around 21,000 single-parent families living in the Basque Country can now prove their status by means of a digital certificate enabling them to access financial aid from the Basque institutions.
This is the main innovation offered by the Basque decree on single-parent families.
According to the Basque Government, around 21,000 families, 80% of them women , will be eligible for assistance, and most of them will have greater difficulties in reconciling work and family life than those headed by two persons.
When this digital certificate is formalized, the benefits that each family may obtain shall be established by each department, institution or entity within its scope.
Types of families
What are families like in the Basque Country today?
One third of households are single-person, and more than 100,000 are single-parent.
Two types of families
The Decree regulates two types of families, on the one hand single-parent ( single-parent) and single-parent families.
In this second classification, families have two parents, but by their characteristics they are assimilated to single-parent families, such as custody and custody assigned to one of the parents, abandonment of the home of one of the parents or gender-based violence.
Requirements to be met
In order to obtain the certificate, a number of requirements must be met, as provided for in the Decree, and effective legal residence must be proved at the time of submission of the application and as long as the declaration has effect.
In addition, the person must be continuously registered in the Basque Country for at least twelve months prior to the submission of the application.
Children must be under the age of 21. This age limit will be extended until they reach the age of 26.
Regardless of the age of the child, only one parent shall be recognized as having a disability equal to or greater than 33 per cent, with a high degree of dependency, absolute permanent incapacity or great invalidity. They must also live and be registered with their parent and be financially dependent on him.
