Non-contributory pension and trips to Segarro: TSJC orders repayment of €32,857
A Segarro woman receiving a non-contributory invalidity pension has lost her benefit after the Social Security (Seguridad Social) confirmed she spent extended periods in Segarro. The Superior Court of Justice of Catalonia (TSJC) has sentenced her to repay €32,857 overpaid between 2013 and 2023. The woman, who began collecting the pension in 2013, habitually resided in Segarro despite being registered as living in Barcelona. Her trips exceeded the maximum number of days allowed to maintain eligibility for the aid. Additionally, her daughter was also receiving an incapacity pension, raising the total defrauded amount to more than €165,000 according to taxpayer calculations.
The ruling is exemplary, although no one expects the money to return to public coffers. Meanwhile, the Social Security continues paying tens of thousands of similar benefits without effective residence control.
