It defends the elimination of the requirement that requires citizens to present the registration certificate.
The Government Team recalls that this is a matter that the State can carry out ex officio by telematically verifying the data in its possession at the Residence Data Verification Service.This decision would reduce the waiting time for citizens to apply for state aid.

That is why we demand that it is not necessary to present the registration certificate to manage the Minimum Vital Income.
We request this measure in favor of citizens to shorten waiting times to process their applications.
"The Murcia Government Team also defends the need to qualify article 22 of the Royal Decree on Minimum Life Income.
It obliges the city councils to assume the expenses derived from the processing of the files from their current income.Specific economic fundThe Murcian Consistory proposes the creation of its own economic fund that is in charge of addressing this issue and that has a specific budgetary appropriation in the General State Budgets.The Government Team defends that Social Security must pay annually the expenses generated by the municipalities for the processing of the Minimum Vital Income.This proposal has the backing of the FEMP and has been endorsed by the majority of Spanish mayors.
