Testo in Inglese
Social Emergency Support measures aim to support vulnerable people who cannot afford specific expenses and aim also to prevent social exclusion. Previous Social Emergency Support considered a line for covering household expenses of the regular and permanent residence of a vulnerable person. However, as of January 2017 (with Decree 16/2017 of the Basque Government) there is a specific line for covering energy expenses related to the supply of electricity, gas and any other type of fuel for domestic use.
Although the Social Emergency Measures Decree consider that the subsidy could be provided for a number of areas related to the regular and permanent dwelling, the specific measure for energy covers basic supply expenses of electricity, gas and any other fuel for domestic use.
The financing consists on a direct help for expenses for use and maintenance of the dwelling, under which energy expenses are included. The maximum amount to receive could be 1,110 Euros for use and maintenance of the dwelling, however there is no specific amount set for energy expenses. This type of benefits is by nature: final (can only be used for the specific purpose given) and subsidiary (they complement other social resources available to help these people).
Beneficiaries of the program have to meet the following requirements:
- Have their registered residence in the municipality where the support is requested (any municipality within the Basque Region), for at least 6 months before the application. If this requirement is not fulfilled, they have to be registered and lived in any of the municipalities of the Basque Region during five continued years of the last ten.
- Having been part of the household unit for at least a year previous to the application, with some exceptions described in the application documents.
- Not being recipients of the complementary household subsidy
- Being at least 18 years of age, with some exceptions.
- Not being able to afford the specific household expenses (this would be evaluated based on parameters such as the level of income of the applicant and other beneficiaries, requiring the person to be below 150% of the Basic Income for Social Protection and Inclusion).
- No having personal wealth more than four times the Basic Income for Social Protection and Inclusion they should be able to get if they had no income.
The interested applicant has to visit any office of the Department of Employment and Social Policies within their municipality, in order to pick up the documents.

Testo madre lingua
Basque Language:
prestazio ekonomiko bat da, aldizkakoa ez dena, baliabide gutxi dituztenei eskaintzen zaiena, ohiko zein aparteko gastu espezifikoei aurre egiteko, eta, hartara, gizarte-bazterkeriako egoerak prebenitzeko, saihesteko edo arintzeko. Diru-laguntzaren izaera du, hau da, aurrekontu baten arabera ematen den laguntza bat da, eta, horretaz gain, helburu jakin baterako ematen da, hau da, laguntza zertarako eskatu den, horretarako erabili behar da. GLLen tramitazioa udalei dagokie.
GLLen araudian, 2017ko urtarrilera arte, laguntza-lerro bat zegoen ohiko etxebizitza- edo bizitoki-gastuen partidaren barruan, honako hauen guztien fakturak oro har ordaintzen laguntzeko: energia, ura, estolderia, zaborra eta hiri- zein landa-eremuko ondasun higiezinen gaineko zergak. Baina gizarte larrialdietarako laguntzei buruzko Dekretua aldatu zuen urtarrilaren 17ko 16/2017 Dekretuan, berariaz ezarri da gastu hauetarako laguntza-lerro bat: “Energia-gastuak, elektrizitate-, gas- edo etxerako beste erregai-horniketa batzuek eraginak”.
Spanish:
Es una prestación económica no periódica dirigida a personas con recursos insuficientes para afrontar gastos específicos, de carácter ordinario o extraordinario, con el objeto de prevenir, evitar o paliar situaciones de marginación social. Tiene carácter subvencional, es decir, su concesión está condicionada a la existencia de presupuesto; y finalista, ya que debe destinarse a cubrir los conceptos para los que se ha solicitado. La tramitación de las AES corresponde a los ayuntamientos.
La normativa de las AES señalaba hasta enero de 2017, dentro de la partida para gastos de la vivienda o alojamiento habitual, una línea de ayudas para satisfacer, en general, las facturas de energía, agua, alcantarillado, basuras, y los impuestos sobre bienes inmuebles de naturaleza urbana y rústica. Sin embargo, el Decreto 16/2017, de 17 de enero, de modificación del Decreto de ayudas de emergencia social establece, de forma específica, una línea para “gastos de energía, debidos al suministro eléctrico, de gas u otro tipo de combustible de uso doméstico”.
