The council is continuing to offer an application assistance service for Adeje residents who wish to apply for the IMV (Ingreso Minimo Vital, or Basic Minimum Wage).  The service is operated at the ‘Escuela de Convivencia’, in Las Nieves, appointments can be made online http://citaprevia.adeje.es/ or by phone 922 756200 and there is a translator available on most Tuesdays at the present time. 

To apply for assistance through the service, you must be on the Adeje padrón.  To apply for the basic minimum wage you will have to meet all the requirements as laid down by central government.
