Automatic summary, not yet reviewed

  1. Raises the benefits for children under 18 in one's care: 47,460 pesetas a year, or 94,860 if the child has a disability of 33% or more. From January 1, 2000, these become 48,420 and 96,780 pesetas a year, and the 1999 difference is paid in a single payment.
  2. Creates a one-time payment of 75,000 pesetas for each child born starting with the third, for families with two or more children. Only those who do not exceed the income limit set for the child care benefits can receive it.
  3. Creates a one-time payment for multiple births when three or more children are born. The amount depends on the minimum wage: 4 times if two children are born, 8 if three, and 12 if four or more, with no income limit.
  4. The one-time payment of the 1999 differences is funded by the Social Security budget and the State budget, in the same way the benefits were funded in 1999.
