Spain advances disability and pension welfare reforms

Overview

Spain continues to refine its pension and social security systems through legislative and structural adjustments. As part of the 2027 reforms, pensions are expected to increase on January 1 based on the average inflation rate (CPI) recorded between December 2025 and November 2026. Additionally, the Intergenerational Equity Mechanism (MEI) is set to increase to 1% of the contribution base on January 1, 2027, split between employers (0.83%) and workers (0.17%). Structural changes to retirement ages will also take effect in 2027. The standard retirement age will rise to 67 for individuals with fewer than 38.5 years of contributions, while those with longer histories may still retire at 65 without reductions. To support labor market extension, Real Decreto 416/2026 allows retirees to combine benefits with employment. Under these rules, part-time workers (33% to 80% of a standard workday) can receive a portion of their pension alongside their salary, with potential increases of 15% to 25% depending on hours worked. Retirees may also recover 100% of their pension once such employment concludes. Recent legislative efforts focus on eliminating pension penalties. The Spanish Congress has admitted for processing a proposal to remove reduction coefficients for workers with 40 or more years of contributions, a measure that could retroactively affect approximately 900,000 retirees. Currently, approximately 95,499 retirees who accessed pensions early and have over 40 years of contributions are receiving a Social Security improvement supplement to correct previous penalties. Social reforms via royal decree-law aim to expand benefits. The Council of Ministers has approved measures granting widowhood pension rights to common-law couples with children who can prove two years of cohabitation. Other proposed measures include allowing employees on long-term sick leave due to cancer to reintegrate progressively into their jobs and allowing both parents of a seriously ill child to simultaneously receive public benefits.
