Supreme Court mandates full pension supplement for maternity benefitExecutive summary: The Spanish Supreme Court ruled that the maternity supplement in early retirement must be calculated on 100% of the pension rather than 50%, rejecting the previous INSS approach. The decision guarantees full maternity benefits for self-employed mothers who continue working, affecting financial planning and state expenditure on parental benefits. Parties involved are the Spanish Supreme Court, the Social Security Institute (INSS), and self-employed mothers (autónomos) receiving a pension. The INSS is expected to adjust its calculations and issue guidance, while affected individuals may pursue retroactive claims for additional payments.The Spanish Supreme Court ruled that the maternity complement for self-employed mothers who combine pension collection with active work must be calculated on 100% of the pension, not 50%. This overturns the Social Security Institute's previous practice of halving the amount. The decision creates a precedent for future claims by self-employed parents and may increase benefit payouts.Connected developmentsEl Supremo estrecha el margen de las plataformas digitales y de los operadores logísticos de subcontratar repartidoresOpen the full case file on Beyond →
