We draft your reclamación previa (compulsory prior claim) against a decision of the SEPE (State Public Employment Service): contributory benefit refused, subsidy refused, wrong amount, shorter period than you are entitled to, unlawful termination or suspension, penalty, or a demand that you repay money. Legal framework: LRJS art. 71 (30-day deadline + 45 days for the SEPE, no reply means refusal) + LGSS art. 71 + RD 625/1985 arts. 19-23 + LPACAP 21-22. For the subsidios (contributory benefit exhausted, over-52s, family responsibilities, returning emigrants, released prisoners, disability review) we work out your income against the IPREM, identify the defects you can still put right (registering as a jobseeker, missing paperwork) and claim the arrears. After a refusal or no reply: 30 working days to file a claim before the social court under the LRJS.
