The benefit for the care of minors affected by cancer or another serious illness (CUME) is a Social Security benefit intended for parents, adoptive parents, guardians for adoption purposes or foster parents who need to reduce their working hours for the direct, continuous and permanent care of a minor affected by cancer or another serious illness included in the legally established list.
The benefit compensates for the loss of income resulting from the reduction of working hours and may be granted when the person concerned requires hospitalization or treatment and requires direct, continuous and permanent care, as certified by the corresponding medical declaration issued by the Public Health Service.
We accompany you throughout the entire process, offering expert guidance, social assistance, and efficient processing of your benefit.
- The reduction in working hours must be at least 50% of the ordinary working hours.
- For employees, the reduction of working hours must be requested and formalized with their company, which is responsible for applying the corresponding reduction in working hours.
- Self-employed workers must indicate in the application the percentage of reduction of their activity that they carry out to care for the person in question, being responsible for the veracity of the information declared.
- In certain cases, the benefit may be granted to only one of the parents, adoptive parents, guardians or foster parents, or received alternatively or simultaneously by both, in accordance with the legally established requirements.
- The financial benefit generally consists of a subsidy equivalent to 100% of the regulatory base established for the temporary incapacity benefit derived from professional contingencies, in proportion to the reduction of working hours actually carried out.
- When the benefit is received simultaneously by both parents, adoptive parents, guardians or foster parents with respect to the same person, each will receive a subsidy equivalent to 50% of their respective regulatory base, in accordance with the provisions of the law.
- The recognition and payment of the benefit corresponds to FREMAP when it has covered the professional contingency of the worker.
If you have already agreed with your company to reduce your working hours:
- Request for the benefit:
- Family book or document proving parentage.
- Family documentation proving guardianship, foster care or family situation, when necessary to prove the specific situation of the applicant.
- Documentation proving the work or professional activity when necessary for the management of the file.
Personnel serving the Public Administrations
Individuals covered by the Basic Statute of Public Employees (EBEP) must contact the agency or Public Administration for which they provide services, responsible for managing the reduction of working hours and the associated economic protection.
The benefit is initially granted for one month and may be extended if the need for care persists, as evidenced by the corresponding medical declaration.
It can be perceived until the person responsible turns 23 years old when the serious illness was diagnosed before the age of 18.
Likewise, the benefit may be maintained until the age of 26 when, before reaching the age of 23, the person in question has proven a degree of disability equal to or greater than 65%.
Exceptionally, the benefit may be maintained beyond 26 years when the person responsible maintains a recognized degree of disability equal to or greater than 65% or proves a degree III of dependency and the cohabitation and the needs for direct, continuous and permanent care provided by law continue to be proven.
The continuation of the benefit is conditional upon maintaining the legally required conditions and the periodic accreditation of the need for care through the corresponding medical declaration
