This is an additional check to the aid that consumers who are entitled to the thermal social bonus already receive, given the rise in electricity and gas that has been recorded for months. The communities will distribute the checks starting in December.
The Government of Spain has approved a check for 90 euros per household from december to cover heating needs of vulnerable consumers who already benefit from the so-called thermal social bonus this winter.
This was announced by the third vice president and minister for the Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge, Teresa Ribera, at the press conference after the Council of Ministers, where she detailed the new decree law approved to contain the effects of the rise in prices energy is causing consumers and businesses.
It’s about a additional check to the aid that these vulnerable consumers already receive through the thermal social bonus, given the rise in electricity and gas that has been recorded for months.
Ribera has indicated that the check will be available from December and that to this end, the department he heads will release the necessary economic items that will be distributed to the autonomous communities for the payment of this aid.
“It’s a single payment Intended for people who benefit from the social bonus and who are also entitled to the thermal social bonus. As this bonus is managed by the autonomous communities, a transfer will be made from the Ministry to all the communities to activate the single payment system. So it will take a few weeks, but it will be available before the end of the year, “he clarified.
