What this document is
“Comunicación de baja o cambio de situación en las prestaciones por desempleo” is a form of Spain's Public Employment Service (SEPE). A person receiving unemployment benefit uses it to report that the benefit must be suspended or ended, or that the payment details have changed.
Under Article 299 of the TRLGSS the recipient must ask to be taken off the benefit when a cause for suspension or termination arises, and provide the supporting documents.
Who submits it and where
- the benefit recipient — on a new job as an employee or self-employed, sick leave, incapacity, birth or adoption, retirement, imprisonment or a bank change;
- a relative or representative — for example when the recipient has died; representation is proven by any legally valid means;
- the form is handed in at a SEPE office or through the registry of another public body — the form has a space for both stamps; check sepe.es for online filing.
What the form asks for
- the recipient's name, surnames and DNI/NIE and, if someone else submits it, that person's details;
- the reason (one tick) and the date of withdrawal or change;
- for intermittent self-employment — the number of days, the days of the month and a description of the activity;
- for a bank change — the current and new bank and both IBANs;
- place, date and the signatory's name.
The “Diligencia de documentación” table and “Observaciones” are filled in by SEPE staff.
What to bring
- DNI, passport or TIE and a document showing the NIE;
- depending on the reason: sick-leave certificate (parte de baja IT), maternity report from the public health service, family book or birth certificate (for foreigners, with an official translation), death certificate, prison admission document;
- for a bank change — a certificate from the bank (certificado de la entidad financiera).
If SEPE requests documents, you have 15 days to provide them; otherwise the benefit is modified or suspended.
