Aid cover 100% of registration fees in municipal facilities and workshops of civic centers

In order to encourage people who are unemployed because of the current economic situation, the City is promoting a measure, proposed by the ERC municipal group in plenary on 27 March, to subsidize the activities in community centers and sports facilities to these people.

"The goal, what we want, is to prevent unemployed people to stay home," says the deputy mayor for economic promotion, Jordi William Carnes. "This is to avoid the isolation of people who become unemployed and can be down from the society," added the president of the municipal group of ERC, Jordi Portabella.

It is expected that between 8,000 and 9,000 people unemployed in the city apply for this grant.

What is subsidized?

These measures, which have an initial budget of 100,000 euros, will cover 100% of monthly subscription fees and the use of sports facilities and 100% of registration fees in the workshops civic centers.

The grants will be used to participate in the activities of 51 community centers and 42 sports facilities and cover the average share of 39 euros per month for a sports facility or the cost of a workshop, between 15 and 50 euros.

However, in order to properly manage the resources of the City Council, grants do not cover the registration to more than one computer or two workshops simultaneously.

also recommend to beneficiaries who choose to do the morning activities and time slots "valley." However, if the beneficiary is already paid to the sports facility, you can still enjoy the same time period.

Who can apply?

These grants are aimed at people registered in Barcelona carrying out of work a minimum of two months that the cause of unemployment is the dismissal or termination of the contract and who have worked a minimum of 10 months in the last three years.

The City will open in September, call for aid, but the subsidy will be backdated to 1 June.

Moreover, to enjoy the subsidy requires a minimum of continuity in the activities of the beneficiary. Thus, assistance will be requested at least 80% of workshop sessions and an average attendance of 12 sports facilities quarterly uses.

Special rates for people without economic resources

are reductions in the payment of electricity bills, telephone and municipal taxes, but nuanced

No doubt that the need for the mother of invention. This account given by those who do not have sufficient financial resources to tackle the day to day. Stretch the money to make ends meet, get to know "by heart" cheaper establishments and interested institutions and measures to benefit them throw bodies are just some of the formulas that this heterogeneous group is implemented. Retirees, immigrants and non-contributory benefit recipients were so far is an example of this reality that the economic crisis begins to provide shelter for all profiles. Dodge or haggle the fixed costs of electricity and telephone, for example, is a task that at first appears complicated. However, the administration has social fertilizers that help digest the payment of invoices from different suppliers. Social rate

electric

Last July, the Ministry of Industry, Tourism and Commerce announced the launch of a social tariff in electricity consumption. Although not entered formally into force until January 1, 2009, consumers could start to apply from the date of approval. A fee is not without controversy because, although it was initially announced that just over 4.5 million users could benefit from it, the nuances have made so far in practice has not been so well received as expected.

In principle, it is directed to citizens who can not afford to enjoy greater power consumption, and hire lower power bills to prevent excessive amounts for its economy. The two concepts that make the electric bill is higher or lower are on the one hand, the amount charged by the contracted power, and secondly, the amount of energy consumed. The main attraction of signing the social tariff of the power term is free and only pay for the electricity consumed, which in theory, and according to ministry sources, carries a 10% saving in electricity bills.

To qualify for this rate must meet several requirements:

• The contracted power must be low voltage, and in no case exceed 3 kW.
• The contract holder must be an individual.
• The home you are going to make use of electricity has to be the habitual residence of the owner, and are therefore outside her summer houses or second homes.
• must have installed a power switch control (ICP) or limiting, or be waiting for the power company put one.

Interestingly, to qualify for the social tariff electricity is not taken into account the owner's income level or employment status of the same, but the main constraint is the contracted capacity. Something that has not left indifferent to many consumers who feel that the amount of tension is insufficient to perform the tasks of daily life in any family.

Different power companies operating in Spain have in their web pages power calculation. In this way, citizens can learn, depending on the appliances you have, how much power you need in your home. So you can see that the social rate of an average family member can not carry energy rate "normal" with which to cover their basic needs, and without being outstanding for jump leads. The 3 kW of social tariffs are to take on the refrigerator, a steam iron, a TV, electric heater and a bulb of 40 w. If the list is joined any heating element, power is shooting.

Payment for phone

General Law Telecommunications provides in Article 22 the concept of universal telecommunications service to ensure that users, regardless of location, have access to minimum services of telecommunications at affordable prices. It is for this reason that the administration approves aid systems directly to consumers with low incomes or with special social needs. In this line, it fits the social credit provided to citizens through Telefónica. It is a measure that benefits for retirees over 64 and pensioners, including both recipients of public pensions as a recognized private pension ruling. Consists applying a 70% reduction in the cost of service high, and another 95% rebate in the amount of the monthly fee for individual line. Of course, the cost of calls is the same as for any other user and there is no limit on consumption.

In any case, it is essential that household income of subscribers does not exceed the indicator Public Multiple Effect Income (IPREM). According to the latest update of this index, this would mean that the recipient's annual income of social credit will not happen of 7381.33 per year, ie 14 for monthly pay of EUR 527.24. Furthermore, another condition that the line is fixed receiving phone must match the place where the owner is registered. You can also refuse payment if the owner has another phone that will benefit from this reduction.

The anecdotal is that contributory pensions, which are those that receive the majority of pensioners, well above the limit of IPREM, and more since the last increase above the CPI increase. For the present 2009, the minimum pension if the holder is 65 and a dependent spouse is set at EUR 696.19 per month, and if you do not have 546.55. Anyway, well above the limit of IPREM. Thus, the social credit may only retirees to apply non-contributory pensions, whose top they are in compliance with the conditions.

Gas and municipal taxes

Although the gas supply market is in an advanced state of deregulation when compared with the electric, the truth is that there is a figure similar to the social tariff electricity. Although often make the mistake of comparing it with the Last Resort Rate (TUR), the name can be misleading, but essentially no more than the maximum price paid by domestic users of natural gas by not having other specific contract signed with a marketer. Is a flat rate, established by ministerial order for the entire English territory.

Another point that thickens the accounts section have to pay is the payment of taxes for water supply, garbage and sewage, which directly raise the councils of each municipality or locality. Some of them reduce the amount of municipal taxes these people without sufficient financial resources. As a rule, tend to be retirees, pensioners and widows over age 60 who receive these bonuses, which vary substantially from one municipality to another. So if you're interested in learning about the discounts that a particular municipality made in the payment of municipal taxes, as appropriate is to ask directly in the field of local social services.
