The social dividend benefit, which starts from 500 euros and increases depending on the beneficiary’s family status, will be paid out by the 10th of May for applications submitted by the end of April.

The benefits for successful applications submitted in May will be paid out by the 10th June; likewise, beneficiaries who submit their application in June see their bank accounts credited by the 10th of July.
