Complete guide to the compatibility of unemployment benefits in Spain
What is the unemployment compatibility in Spain?
The“compatibilización del paro” in Spain refers to the possibility of combining unemployment benefits (known as ‘el paro’) with some other work activity.
People who are receiving unemployment benefits and wish to start a self-employment activity can continue to receive the benefits.
Requirements for unemployment compatibility in Spain
Previously, only persons under 30 years of age were able to obtain their benefits simultaneously with their self-employed status. However, this restriction has now been lifted, thus eliminating any age limitation. To access this option, the following criteria must be met:
- Be receiving the contributory benefit, which is acquired by having at least 360 days of contributions.
- Be registered as self-employed.
- Make the request for this measure within the first 15 working days from the beginning of the self-employed activity.
- Not to be employed full-time or part-time during the compatibility period.
What happens if I am not yet autónomo?
If you are receiving unemployment benefits and are considering registering as self-employed, you have three alternatives:
- Temporarily suspending the payment of the subsidy: It is common that when you receive a job offer as an autónomo or when you start your own business you decide to interrupt the benefit you are receiving. The question arises, “Will I be able to resume my unemployment benefit at a later date?” The answer is yes. If the self-employment activity lasts between 24 and 60 months, you will be able to recover the benefit.
- Compatibility of unemployment benefits with self-employment: If you want to start a business as a self-employed person but you also need to continue receiving unemployment benefits, you can do so for a maximum of 270 days or the remaining time you have to receive them, provided that you request it within 15 days from the start of your activity.
- Capitalizing the unemployment benefit: Another option is to use the accumulated benefit to finance the start-up of your business. You can receive in a single payment the remaining amount of your contributory unemployment benefit, as long as you have at least three monthly payments left to receive. It is important to note that if you opt for this alternative, you must apply for it before starting your self-employment activity, and you cannot do so again if you have already used this option in the last four years.

FAQ
General Info
Capitalization focuses on using the accumulated amount of unemployment benefits to undertake a new business activity, while compatibilization with working as an autónomo allows receiving benefits while working as a self-employed person, subject to certain conditions and requirements.
