The Spanish Social Security Institute (INSS) has begun an information campaign aimed at the 365,747 parents who may be eligible for two extra weeks of birth and childcare leave. The extension, which can be taken from 1 January 2026 until the child reaches eight years of age, is available to all parents, including single parents who can claim four weeks. Parents will receive details through e‑mail or SMS and can submit their request online via the portal prestaciones.seg‑social.es. The application can be made up to 15 days before the leave starts, and employers must provide a company certificate. The campaign follows a July 2024 amendment that increased the base leave from 16 to 19 weeks, with 32 weeks for single parents.
