\nThey will not pay the July fee and will have a reduction in August and September.<\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Self-employed workers who have been affected by the coronavirus crisis with the closure of their businesses during the state of alarm, or with a reduction of at least 75 percent of their income, have been able to access the cessation of activity.<\/p>\n
The beneficiaries of this aid are divided into three groups: self-employed workers who have not yet been able to resume their activity, who can request the benefit again; those who have been able to return to work, who will still benefit from three months of exemptions and reductions in the self-employed quota; and 'seasonal' self-employed workers who were not registered when the State of Alarm was declared.<\/p>\n
Benefit for cessation of activity<\/h3>\n
Technically, there is no extension of benefits for cessation of activity. What is done is to replace it for the months of July, August and September with a new benefit, which is ordinary instead of extraordinary as the first one was. All those self-employed workers below the legal retirement age (65 years and 10 months) who estimate that during the third quarter their billing will be reduced by 75% or more with respect to the same period of 2019.<\/p>\n
Added to this drop in income is another economic requirement: having a forecast of net income during the third quarter of 2020 of less than 5,818.75 euros. To determine the right to the benefit on a monthly basis, the net income for the quarter will be prorated, which cannot exceed 1,939.58 euros per month.<\/p>\n
As with the benefits established initially, you must be registered in the Special Regime for Self-Employed Workers and be up to date with payments, or catch up within one month. A requirement to which now, as it is an extraordinary benefit, is added the obligation to have contributed continuously for at least twelve months prior to the application.<\/p>\n
The amount of the benefit, as was the case with the extraordinary benefit, amounts to 70% of the regulatory base for which the self-employed person contributes; 661 euros per month if the minimum contribution is made. It is advisable to submit the application to the mutual insurance company before July 15 so that the month of July is complete. If it is submitted later, the recognition of the right to the benefit will take effect from the day following delivery of the application.<\/p>\n
This benefit will last until September 30, 2020 at most. From that moment on, to receive a benefit for business cessation, as established in article 330 of the General Social Security Law, the business will have to be effectively closed. .<\/p>\n
As until now, the self-employed person must advance the payment of the Social Security contribution that the mutual insurance company will then pay along with the corresponding benefit for that month. The worker will only be responsible for 1.7% of his contribution base corresponding to professional contingencies, cessation of activity and professional training.<\/p>\n
