The Minimum Vital Income approved this Friday by the Executive of Pedro Sánchez is the last of the aids to which people in vulnerable situations could so far go. A group that already formed, for example, the Canary Islands Emergency Income or the Canary Islands Insertion Benefit … And the announced Minimum Income was still pending … What does each of them consist of?
We go in parts. The Canary Islands Emergency Income (ICE) is a single payment that the Canary Islands Government must pay in the coming weeks; it goes from 367 to 478 euros. Let’s say it was thought of as a quantity to endure until the most permanent aid from the State arrived.
That is, the Minimum Vital Income (IMV) that has been approved today. Is a quantity floor that has been calculated to homogenize this benefit of survival in the different Autonomous Communities. It will be between 462 and 1,015 euros, depending on how many minors, adults or dependents are in charge. Ours, the Canary Islands Insertion Benefit ranges from 486 euros to 679 euros, so that aid to families with children increases significantly.
The Minimum Income, to understand us, was going to be the evolution of the PCI. But now that the IMV has come out, both will coexist for a time until that state aid absorbs the PCI. So the idea of Minimum Income is abandoned? No, but as the Autonomous Communities are going to save money the money from these insertion benefits, which is already covered by the State, the concept of minimum income changes. It is going to become something else, a complement to that amount of land that is the state IMV. For example, a rental assistance.
Each help corresponds to some specific profiles and nuances. PCI is being paid to 6,340 households (approximately 13,500 people). And the calculation is that 48,500 families will be entitled to the IMV. Almost 8 times more.
As for that pay puente, that unique subscription that is the Canarian Emergency Income, has been requested by 37,500 islanders.
