Automatic summary, not yet reviewed

  1. The bill would raise the minimum protection level the state guarantees for each beneficiary of the dependency system: 660 euros per month for grade III (severe dependency), 260 euros for grade II (major dependency) and 90 euros for grade I (moderate dependency).
  2. It would also set a minimum of 4,930 euros per month for people in grade III+, extreme dependency.
  3. It would grant budget supplements in the Ministry of Social Rights, Consumer Affairs and Agenda 2030: 2,097,652,020 euros for the guaranteed minimum in dependency and 121,000,000 euros for the agreed level, both to IMSERSO.
  4. These measures would not apply in the Basque Country or Navarre, due to their special concert and agreement arrangements for dependency care.
  5. The new amounts would apply to benefits accrued from July 1, 2026; the rest of the rule would take effect the day after publication in the official gazette (BOE).
  6. The Government would be empowered to issue any provisions needed to develop and carry out the rule.

Who it affects

  • People with recognized dependency (grades I, II and III): They would receive a higher monthly state-guaranteed minimum.
  • People in grade III+ (extreme dependency): They would have a guaranteed minimum of 4,930 euros per month.
  • Families and caregivers: Better system funding, which the text says would cut waiting lists and improve care quality.
  • Autonomous communities (regional governments): They would receive additional state transfers, except the Basque Country and Navarre.

Where does all this come from?

  • The data comes from the open files of the Congreso, the Senate and the BOE, unaltered.
  • Each deputy’s province is the one of their seat on the day of the vote.
  • We never say “passed” because of a vote: the files do not say which majority was needed.
