Información detallada de la prestación por riesgo durante el embarazo (cuenta propia)

La prestación por riesgo durante el embarazo es una prestación contributiva dentro de la acción protectora de la Seguridad Social que tiene como finalidad compensar la pérdida de ingresos que sufre la trabajadora embarazada que se ve obligada a interrumpir su actividad profesional por estar expuesta a una serie de riesgos inevitables que pudieran perjudicar su salud o la de su feto.

A continuación se detallan cada uno de los aspectos que configuran esta prestación:

1. Protected status.

A protected situation is considered to be the situation in which the pregnant worker finds herself during the period of interruption of professional activity, in cases in which her performance negatively influences her health or that of the fetus, and is certified by the medical services of the managing entity or the competent Social Security Collaborating Mutual Fund.

Instead,The situation derived from risks or pathologies that may negatively influence the health of the worker or the fetus will not be considered a protected situation, when said complications are inherent to the pregnancy itself and are not related with agents, procedures or conditions of the workstation performed.

2. Access requirements.

3. Economic benefit.

The financial benefit for risk during pregnancy will consist of a subsidy equivalent to 100% of the regulatory base equivalent to that established for the benefit for temporary disability, derived from professional contingencies, or, where appropriate, equivalent to that established for the benefit for temporary disability derived from common contingencies, when the regime in question does not contemplate the coverage of professional contingencies, taking as reference the date on which the certificate is issued for the medical services of the corresponding managing or collaborating entity.

4. Duration of the benefit.

The right to the subsidy arises the day following the day on which the medical certificate is issued by the medical services of the competent managing or collaborating entity, although the economic effects will occur, in any case, from the date of effective cessation of the corresponding professional activity. The benefit will end the day before the day on which the leave for the birth and care of the minor begins or the day before the resumption of professional activity when this is compatible with your condition, unless one of the following causes for termination of the benefit previously occurs:

  • Cause withdrawal from the Special Regime in which the worker was included.
  • Termination of pregnancy.
  • Death of the beneficiary.

5. Management and payment of the benefit.

The management and payment of the financial benefit for risk during pregnancy will correspond to the managing entity or mutual collaborator with Social Security, with which the self-employed worker has formalized coverage for professional contingencies or protection for temporary disability derived from common contingencies.

The payment of the subsidy will be made by the managing or collaborating entity, in monthly periods in arrears.

6. Denial, cancellation and suspension of the right.

The right to the subsidy may be denied, canceled or suspended, in accordance with the provisions for the subsidy for temporary disability in article 132.1 of the General Social Security Law:

  1. When the beneficiary has acted fraudulently to obtain or retain the subsidy.
  2. When the beneficiary carries out any work or activity, whether employed or self-employed (unless said activity was prior to the recognition of the benefit and she could maintain it without putting her health or that of her fetus at risk).

7. Marco normativo.
