This Thursday, Social Security reported important information for the self-employed in view of the easing of economic activity that will begin in the coming days. Those workers who already have the extraordinary benefit for cessation of activity recognized, the type of 'strike' created by the Government in this coronavirus crisis, will continue to receive the aid even if they reopen their businesses and resume their activity in the de-escalation period. In total, 1,154,195 self-employed workers will receive the benefit this Thursday.
"The self-employed beneficiaries of the benefit who can open their business at the beginning of the de-escalation will continue to receive it until the last day of the month in which the state of alarm ends," says the Ministry of Inclusion, Social Security and Migration in an information note. At the moment, the state of alarm reaches the month of May, so they would collect the full May benefit.
