To access the subsidy for people over 52, the Public State Employment Service requires that workers meet, among other requirements, those necessary to collect the social security retirement pension, except for age. On this, many wonder if the years quoted as a professional military compute to access this help, since when seeing working life they observe how they are not reflected. The answer is that they are taken into account, but it is convenient to explain it and make a series of nuances.
Quotes as a professional military have both to access the subsidy for over 52 years and to access the retirement pension and in the amount, but the reason why a worker does not appear in the working life of a worker is simple. The working life that workers consult is issued by the General Treasury of Social Security (TGSS), which corresponds to the general regime (that of the majority of employed workers).

The SEPE will suspend the subsidy for over 52 years to the unemployed that receive an inheritance if it exceeds the allowed income limit
Miriam Ruiz Acosta, lawyer: “The SEPE can force you to return the subsidy for people over 52 years old if you suspect fraud”
What happens? Well, the professional military who entered before January 1, 2011 belongs to the State’s passive classes regime, managed by the Ministry of Inclusion, Social Security and Migrations, and their mutuality is Isfas. That is, being a different system with its own databases, it does not appear in working life.
Now how is it solved? Because through the so -called “reciprocal computation of quotes” that is regulated in the General Law of Social Security as well as in Royal Decree 691/1991 (that can be consulted in this boe). Although to access the retirement pension, Social Security is responsible for verifying it, in the case of subsidy for over 52 years, it is the beneficiary who must indicate it to the SEPE (communicate that it has quoted in other regimes).
Do not confuse with mandatory military service, “La Mili”
Now, we must not confuse with the mandatory military service better known as the “La Mili”. In this case, it will not compute and will not, since this was a citizen obligation, not a employment relationship. That is, there was no work contract or a salary as such, and therefore, no social security contributions for ordinary retirement were generated.
Of course, even if it does not count for the subsidy it must be said that the General Social Security Law does contemplate an exception and is, to access voluntary or involuntary early retirement. Important, it serves to access but will not compute to improve the amount.
It is necessary to have six years of unemployment contributions
To access the subsidy for people over 52, the Public State Employment Service (SEPE) demands that the beneficiaries accredit at least six years of contingency for the contingency of unemployment throughout their working life. This requirement is important, since it is not the same to have quoted social security for retirement than having done it specifically for unemployment.
Most of the work on their own, such as those included in the General Social Security regime, in the Special Agrarian System, in the Sea Workers Regime and also the training contracts.
At this point, it is key to clarify that the service as a professional military also computes. Unlike what is sometimes believed, the professional military with a temporary commitment does have unemployment coverage, as stated in article 292.1 of the law. For this reason, their years of service are taken into account to meet the requirement of the six years of unemployment contribution, and it is important to communicate it to the SEPE when requesting the benefit to make the correct computation.
