Overview

  • The Spanish Council of Ministers authorized a historic €783.2 million for the System for Autonomy and Attention to Dependency, marking the largest state investment since 2012 cuts.
  • Castilla-La Mancha is set to receive €40.2 million under the new funding package approved on July 15.
  • Per-beneficiary spending varies sharply across regions, with Andalucía investing €7,173 per dependent person compared with €13,554 in País Vasco.
  • State contributions fell to 27.1% of dependency financing in 2024 as regional shares rebounded to 72.9% following the 2021 Plan de Choque.
  • Recent legal reforms consolidate accessibility as a right, remove benefit incompatibilities and end the two-year suspension on family-care economic benefits ahead of parliamentary debate.
