The Minimum Living Income (IMV) benefited 282,787 people in 93,539 households across the Valencian Community during March, according to the latest data from the National Social Security Institute (INSS).

This financial aid reached 39,878 households in the province of Alicante, 11,158 in Castellón, and 42,503 in Valencia. The average amount of the benefit per household in the region was 574.26 euros per month, totaling a payroll of 59.6 million euros in March.
Regarding the profile of beneficiaries, 62,230 of the recipients are women and 31,309 are men. Of the total 282,787 beneficiaries, 167,802 are adults and 114,985 are minors, highlighting the IMV's role in child protection.

"The Minimum Living Income makes a difference especially in childhood. Today, 41% of beneficiaries are minors and in almost seven out of ten protected households there are children. This means that we are acting where it matters most, which is in the present and future of the country."

Nationally, the IMV reached 829,399 households, benefiting 2,532,284 people in March, with a total expenditure of 495.6 million euros. Since its implementation in 2020, it has protected 3,546,408 people across Spain. Minister Elma Saiz emphasized that 41% of beneficiaries are minors, and 69% of households covered by the IMV include minors.
The child assistance supplement, which can be received independently of the IMV, was granted to 573,831 households in March. This additional aid, with amounts varying by the child's age, aims to expand the safety net against child poverty, also reaching households with low or moderate incomes.

"The IMV is not just a benefit; it is a network that prevents exclusion, provides stability to families, and allows thousands of people to build a life project with more security. The Child Assistance Supplement reinforces precisely that, because we know that investing in childhood is investing in equal opportunities."

The average age of IMV beneficiaries is 28.5 years, decreasing to 20.1 years when excluding the main recipients. This data highlights the IMV's role in supporting young people in vulnerable situations, offering a foundation for their integration into adult life. The benefit is compatible with earned income and includes incentives to promote labor market integration.
