6 months for companies in Basque Country to transfer family benefits management to regional authorities

Royal Decree 174/2026 transfers non-contributory family benefits and birth/care subsidies management to the Basque Autonomous Community, as per Royal Decree 2339/1980 and the transitional provision in the Statute. The change affects allocated resources and applies to companies with employees in the Basque region, with a 6-month transition period from the decree's entry into force.

In 2 key points

  1. The Basque Country assumes management of non-contributory family benefits (art. 3)
  2. Effectiveness of the transfer from 6 March 2026 (art. 3)

How it affects those involved

Public officials in the Basque Country and affected local administrations must integrate the new management into their social services. Recipients of non-contributory family benefits will now receive services in the Basque region. Other communities lose their competence in this area. The change does not directly affect workers or SMEs.
