Yes

Crikey guys, where you have you been living the last few years?

Not being able to give a bank acount or a fixed address may be more of an issue. Indeed most are not "empadronado" or registered as living in Spain

My understanding is that you claim the €450 after your regular unemployment benefit runs out, and you can only claim the regular unemployment benefit after having officially worked for at least a year, i.e. you have to have worked and paid social security at some point.

If you have a link to different information then I'd be interested.

Actually I am not so sure if it includes people who have never had a job

What I understood was that if nobody in your family (in your household) was working or receiving benefits then you would be eligible

But as ever, the information online isnt very good, best to talk to your friendly seguridad social funcionario!
