15,462 families have applied for 200 child support monthly payments up to 3 years since last Wednesday. 5.330 in Gipuzkoa, 7,620 in Bizkaia and 2,512 in Álava, according to data from the Minister for Equality, Justice and Social Policies, Nerea Melgosa of the Basque Government.

Through this measure, Basque families will directly receive EUR 7,200 per child and EUR 4,800 in the case of the third and successive family members, so the benefit could reach EUR 12,000 until the age of seven.

In the interview carried out by Melandía in Radio Euskadi, he made a "positive assessment" of the reception of the aid and stressed the "importance" of the work of providing these aids.

In this sense, he mentions other aids such as conciliation, overruns or hiring personnel to care for children: "Now we have to work, evaluate individual aids and see how they work, besides emancipation and other aids, and that is what the young people are asking us for".

Eligibility for aid

The benefit will start to be paid in April and will reach 65,000 people. All families of Álava, Bizkaia and Gipuzkoa with children under three years old can apply. From the third child the aid is extended to 7 years by EUR 100 per month.

It can be requested electronically, for which a means of digital identification must be available in person in the Zuzenean representation, in the post office or in the municipalities.
