Overview

• The Tribunal Superior de Justicia de Galicia ordered a woman to repay €12,003.62 after she failed to disclose prior sanctions when claiming a lump-sum unemployment benefit.
• SEPE has introduced a €2,850 subsidy for unemployed individuals with at least 90 days of contributions who do not qualify for regular unemployment benefits.
• Direct family members living with self-employed relatives are barred from unemployment benefits unless a genuine employment relationship is proven.
• Beneficiaries of SEPE's over-52 subsidy must apply through the INSS to transition to retirement benefits, as the process is not automatic.
• SEPE emphasizes stricter enforcement of eligibility rules, data cross-checks, and sanctions to prevent fraud and ensure accurate benefit distribution.
