# Court orders repayment of Asturias social salary

22 October 2026 at 17:23

> The Superior Court of Justice of Asturias rules that regional social salary is incompatible with the state-managed Minimum Vital Income.

The **Superior Court of Justice of Asturias** has ordered a woman to repay 16,365.93 euros to the regional administration. This follows a ruling by the **Social Court of Oviedo**, which confirmed that the regional social salary and state income are incompatible.

The claimant received regional benefits from 2015, reaching 461.73 euros monthly by 2023. After being granted the state-managed **Minimum Vital Income** retroactively from 2020, she received over 20,000 euros, leading to the termination of her regional support.

Under the 2005 **Basic Social Salary Law**, regional aid is strictly subsidiary and complementary. This case reinforces the legal requirement that state subsidies take precedence, ensuring beneficiaries do not receive double payments for the same period.
