Since its launch in mid-2020, the Minimum Vital Income has been one of the most outstanding benefits for the most vulnerable people. Close to 1.2 million beneficiaries, the intention is that it reaches more than two million people, as was predicted at the time of its implementation.
One of the problems that the applicant faces when requesting the Minimum Vital Income is managing the anxiety and uncertainty generated after the request for the benefit and until the moment in which the Social Security resolution arrives.

In the event that, after that time, the applicant has not received any notification, the Minimum Vital Income will be understood as denied due to administrative silence. All in all, explains the Social Security, “it will expressly resolve the applications presented, even if more than six months have elapsed since their presentation”.
