The self-employed worker will be considered to have developed a single job during the months of June to December 2018 and 2019 provided that, having been registered in a social security scheme as an employed person, this registration does not exceed 120 days a throughout those two years.

2. The requirements to cause the right to the benefit will be:

a) Have been registered and listed in the Special Scheme for Self-Employed Workers or in the Special Scheme for Seafarers as a self-employed worker for at least four months in the period from June to December of each of the years 2018 and 2019.

b) Not having been registered or assimilated to registration as an employee in the corresponding Social Security regime for more than 120 days during the period between June 1, 2018 and July 31, 2020.

c) Not having developed activity or having been registered or assimilated to registration from March 1 to May 31, 2020.

d) Not having received any benefit from the Social Security system during the months of January to June 2020, unless it was compatible with the exercise of an activity as a self-employed worker.

e) Not having obtained during the year 2020 an income that exceeds 23,275 euros.

f) Be up to date in the payment of contributions to Social Security. However, if this requirement is not fulfilled, the managing body will invite the self-employed worker to pay, within the non-extendable period of thirty calendar days, the due contributions. The regularization of the overdraft will produce full effects for the acquisition of the right to protection.

3. The amount of the benefit regulated in this article will be equivalent to 70 percent of the minimum contribution base that corresponds to the activity carried out in the Special Regime of the Social Security of Self-Employed or Self-Employed Workers.

This benefit will be incompatible with work for others and with any Social Security benefit that the beneficiary has received unless it is compatible with the performance of the activity as a self-employed worker. Likewise, it will be incompatible with self-employment and with the receipt of income from the company whose activity has been affected by the closure, when the income received during 2020 exceeds 23,275 euros.
