The contributory pension supplement for the reduction of the gender gap, replaces the maternity supplement for demographic contribution with a supplement aimed at reducing the gender gap, which initially seeks to repair the harm that women have suffered throughout their career for assuming a major role in the task of caring for children, which is projected in the area of pensions. Hence, the requirements for the recognition of the allowance for men and women were different. However, the judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) of 15 May 2025, joined cases C-623 [Melbán] and C-626/23 [Sergamo], has declared that Article 60 of the consolidated text of the General Social Security Law, approved by Royal Legislative Decree 8/2015 of 30 October, must be applied to men in the same terms as for women. Consequently, the additional requirements set out in paragraph 1(a) and (b) of that Article are no longer applicable to men. Men and women who have had one or more children and who are in receipt of a contributory retirement pension (except for partial retirement), permanent disability pension or widow's pension from 4 February 2021.When accessing full retirement from partial retirement, the supplement shall be recognised, if the requirements are met.
