Lanbide publishes 41,400 notifications in the BOPV to locate RGI recipients
The Basque Employment Service has had to resort to the Official Gazette of the Basque Country to contact thousands of recipients of the Income Guarantee (RGI) it has been unable to reach through ordinary channels. So far this year, Lanbide has published nearly 41,400 notices in the BOPV – one recipient may accumulate several – as a last resort after attempting hand delivery at their homes. The result is discouraging: only 1.13% of the people concerned have come to collect the letter at the office.
Why don't the beneficiaries show up?
The number of failed notifications calls into question the effectiveness of the RGI control system. If after the personalised notification attempt and publication in the gazette only a handful of recipients respond, it is worth asking how many of them actually reside in the Basque Country or have updated their details. In public debate, it has been pointed out that the response rate is so low that it suggests many recipients may have changed residence without notifying, or even live outside the Basque Country. Lanbide, for now, does not offer a detailed profile of the disappeared.
A 98.87% failure rate in locating them
The fact that only 1.13% of those affected go to the office after seeing their name in the gazette suggests that the notification system is not working or that the recipients have no interest in responding. The figure, in any case, is so low that it suggests that the recipients have either left the community, or died, or are in an irregular situation. Lanbide has not specified what consequences there will be for those who do not regularise their situation, but logic suggests that if they do not come forward, the benefit could be suspended.
If the trend continues, the lack of control over the RGI could become a legitimacy hole for the Basque income system, but the current figures do not allow us to affirm that fraud is massive. What is clear is that Lanbide's location system is failing resoundingly, and that thousands of recipients are in administrative limbo.
