Refugees and subsidiary protection beneficiaries have access to social welfare under the same conditions as Spanish nationals.[1] The same rules apply to refugees and subsidiary protection beneficiaries. They are entitled to, among others, employment and unemployment, benefits, scholarship, social assistance allowances, emergency allowances, allowances for housing, etc.
The Ministry of Inclusion, Social Security and Migration is responsible for the provision of social assistance. In practice, beneficiaries access benefits without any particular obstacles.
Social welfare is not conditioned on residence in a specific place, since it is managed at the national level. However, assistance may be complemented by support at municipal and regional level if applicable.
