In a context where many families are facing financial difficulties and are looking for quick answers, Social Security provides an online tool that allows you to find out, in a few minutes and without leaving home, which social benefits each citizen may be entitled to. Using official simulators, it is possible to obtain an estimate of the support available with just some basic data.
The tool is available on the Social Security portal and was created to facilitate access to information about social benefits, avoiding unnecessary trips to service counters and reducing the bureaucracy associated with requests for support.
This is a set of digital simulators that evaluate different personal, family and professional situations, allowing you to understand whether there are conditions to benefit from certain subsidies before proceeding with a formal request.
A digital answer to frequently asked questions
Many citizens are unaware of existing subsidies or do not know if they are entitled to them. The use of simulators appears precisely to fill this gap, offering an immediate and guiding response.
When filling in information such as income, household composition, employment status or age, the system cross-references the data with current legal requirements and presents an indicative simulation. This estimate does not replace the official analysis of an application, but it allows you to clarify initial doubts and help in making informed decisions.
Where to access and when to use
Social benefit simulators can be accessed directly through the official Social Security website, in an area dedicated exclusively to this digital service.
This tool can be used at any time, being especially relevant in situations of unemployment, reduced income, birth of children, prolonged illness or significant changes in family life.
The consultation is free and does not require authentication with sensitive personal data, which facilitates access even for those who do not regularly use Direct Social Security.
What supports can be simulated
Among the simulators available are several of the benefits most sought after by citizens, including benefits linked to unemployment, parenthood, childhood, illness or social exclusion, some of which can represent support of several thousand euros over time, depending on the personal situation and the duration of the benefit.
Each simulator is associated with a specific performance and presents questions adjusted to the reality it intends to evaluate, making the process simple and accessible. The final result indicates whether, from the outset, there are conditions to be entitled to subsidies and what criteria determine this assessment.
A simple and quick process
The operation was designed to be intuitive, even for users with less digital literacy. The questions arise sequentially and clearly, avoiding excessive technical language.
In most cases, the simulation takes just a few minutes, allowing you to get an immediate response without having to gather documentation or fill out extensive forms. This quick nature is one of the main factors that has led more and more people to use this tool before contacting in-person services.
Avoid unnecessary travel
By allowing a first online assessment, simulators help reduce queues and trips to branches, saving time for both citizens and the services themselves.
This functionality proves to be particularly useful for people with reduced mobility, those living in remote areas or those with working hours that are incompatible with face-to-face service. Furthermore, it contributes to a more efficient use of public resources.
