What this document is
TA.0040 “Solicitud de alta/variación de datos/baja del convenio especial de cuidadores no profesionales” is the official form of Spain's General Treasury of Social Security (TGSS). A non-professional carer (cuidador no profesional) uses it to take out a special agreement with Social Security, change its details or end it.
The agreement lets someone who cares at home for a person with recognised dependency build up contributions towards a pension. According to Social Security, the contributions are paid in full by IMSERSO; you only pay extra yourself if you want to keep your previous, higher contribution base.
This is a separate form, not the general TA.0040 for the ordinary special agreement.
Who files it and where
- the person named as carer in the resolution granting the family-care benefit (prestación económica para cuidados en el entorno familiar) and in the PIA: a spouse, a relative up to the third degree or someone close;
- the carer needs a Social Security number (NAF/NUSS); without one, it is obtained online or with form TA.1 filed together with this one;
- online — through the “Alta en convenio especial” service at the Sede Electrónica;
- or on this form, completed and signed, at the TGSS in person or through a public registry.
- Filed within 90 calendar days of the benefit being granted, the agreement runs from the grant date; filed later, from the filing date.
What the form asks
- carer: surnames, given name, Social Security number, date of birth, NIF/NIE/passport, address, e-mail and mobile;
- type of application: take out (alta), change of data or end (baja);
- when taking out — the details of the person cared for, their address, dependency degree and the date the benefit was granted;
- for grade II — full-time or part-time care and hours per week; for any grade — whether you receive the over-52 subsidy; whether you want to pay extra;
- for a change — reason and date; for ending — the reason from the list;
- representative (if filing), address for notifications and, if paying extra, who pays and the IBAN for the direct debit.
What to bring
- a copy of the carer's valid identity document (DNI, NIE or passport);
- a copy of the identity document of the person cared for;
- a copy of the family-care benefit resolution (PIA) — not needed if you sign the data-consultation consent in section 9;
- for a change or ending — a document proving the change or reason (except voluntary ending).
How to fill it in with FoxDocs
