The Minimum Vital Income has had different reforms throughout its two years of life. One of the most relevant was that of December 2021, in which the child aid supplement was introduced, which was established with the aim of offering greater coverage to minors, a vulnerable sector par excellence.
This child support supplement was granted to all beneficiaries of the Minimum Vital Income at that time and was logically extended to future beneficiaries of the benefit. In short, the way it works is clear: all households with minors can add this supplement to the guaranteed income provided by the IMV.
The amounts of the supplement are monthly and for each child, although they differ depending on the age of the minors in question:
-100 euros per month for each child under three years of age.
-70 euros per month for each child over three and under six years of age.
-50 euros per month for each child over six years of age and under 18 years of age.
Although this supplement appears closely linked to the Minimum Vital Income due to its shared objective of covering the most vulnerable households, it is also contemplated that families that do not receive the benefit can collect the supplement, provided that they remain within very specific parameters in terms of of income and assets.

What are the limits to the asset test to collect the supplement
In this case, the limit established by Social Security is six times the guaranteed income for each cohabitation unit. As in the previous assumptions, there are scales of increases that vary depending on said unit of coexistence.
