Benefit for cessation of activity

The Cessation of Activity of Self-Employed Workers (hereinafter protection CATA), is mandatory, and aims to protect the self-employed worker who, faced with the situation of total cessation of the activity (temporarily or definitively) that caused registration in the special regime, wants to carry out an economic or professional activity for profit and cannot.
This protection represents progress in the project of achieving equity with the level of protection provided to the employed worker .

Workers included in the Special Regime for Self-Employed or Self-Employed Workers (RETA), Self-Employed Agricultural Workers (SETA), Economically Dependent Self-Employed Workers (TRADE), and Self-Employed Workers or Assimilated Shipowners included in the Special Regime for Sea Workers, whose contribution for mandatory cessation of activity coverage for self-employed workers began on January 1, 2019.

• El importe de la prestación se calculará con el 70% de la base reguladora media cotizada durante los 12 meses continuados e inmediatamente anteriores al cese de actividad. En función del número de hijos que el autónomo tenga a su cargo, se establecerán cuantías mínimas (80|107% IPREM) y máximas (175|200|225% IPREM) de la prestación CATA.
  En el Régimen Especial de los Trabajadores del Mar la base Reguladora se calculará sobre la totalidad de la base de cotización por esta contingencia, sin aplicación de los coeficientes correctores de cotización, y además, los períodos de veda obligatoria aprobados por la autoridad competente no se tendrán en cuenta para el computo del período de 12 meses continuados e inmediatamente anteriores a la situación legal de Cese de Actividad, siempre y cuando en esos períodos de veda no se hubiera percibido la prestación por cese de actividad.
   
• El abono de la cotización de Seguridad Social por contingencias comunes al régimen correspondiente.
   
• Medidas de formación, orientación profesional y promoción de la actividad emprendedora de los autónomos beneficiarios del mismo.

Las dos primeras prestaciones serán satisfechas por los órganos gestores mientras que la tercera siempre será dispensada por el Servicio Estatal Público de Empleo (SEPE) o el Instituto Social de la Marina (ISM).

Duración: la duración de la prestación CATA se determinará en función de los períodos de cotización efectuados dentro de los 48 meses anteriores a la situación legal de cese de actividad (al menos 12 meses deben ser continuados e inmediatamente anteriores al cese) con arreglo a la siguiente escala:

Quienes teniendo derecho a la prestación por Cese de Actividad, y acreditaran un período de al menos seis meses pendiente de cobro, podrán percibir de una sola vez el importe de la prestación, cuando acrediten que van a realizar una actividad profesional como autónomos o destinen el 100% del importe a realizar una aportación al capital social de una entidad mercantil nueva o constituida en el plazo máximo de 12 meses antes a la aportación, siempre que vayan a tener el control efectivo de la misma, y a ejercer en ella una actividad profesional, encuadrados como trabajadores por cuenta propia.

El reconocimiento del derecho por la Mutua, supondrá el disfrute de la correspondiente prestación económica a partir del día siguiente en que tenga efecto la baja en el régimen especial al que estuviera adscrito.
