Advantages of extending the legal status of a large family

The Spanish Federation of Large Families (FEFN) has requested the Government to approve the extension of the legal status of a large family before the summer, that is, before the university enrollment period begins so that families can benefit from the education benefits.

In the case of the parliamentary procedure of the Law on Children and Adolescents, in which the reform of the Law of Large Families has been collected in regard to the maintenance of their legal status, which will be modified so that The Large Family Title is valid until the last of the children reaches the age established by law (21 or 26 years if you are studying), large families may qualify for numerous grants.


Advantages of the extension of the large family title

1. The measure will suppress the discrimination suffered by young children in these homes, which keeps expectant thousands of large families that could shortly be left out of the title.

2. Families that have children studying or about to enter the University could benefit from the bonus in tuition fees (50% or 100%), which translates into an important saving when you have several university children.

3. Families that maintain large family status would also have the benefits of accessing scholarships, as the extra points or a higher income threshold that large families can have on the scale to obtain these aids


4. Large families would also benefit from discounts on urban transport, 20% or 50%, depending on the case.

What is missing for the approval of the extension of the legal status of a large family?

Once the deadline for submitting amendments has expired, the Law is only pending the debate and approval of the same, which have been presented by the different political groups in order to modify various aspects.

The FEFN sent a series of proposals to improve what was initially proposed by the Government; among other things, he asked that all families that have been numerous and have a child with the required age, can recover this condition; It was also proposed that the age limit of the children included in the Title be set at 26 years. In relation to these demands, the Federation relies on the sensitivity of the parliamentary groups to support these demands of the collective.


Next week the debate and approval of amendments in the Commission will take place and subsequently the Bill will go to the plenary session. Once it receives a green light in Congress, it will be sent to the Senate and from there it will return to Congress for its final approval.
