IPREM caps: The amount has a minimum and maximum based on the IPREM and dependent children: maximum of 175% (no children), 200% (1 child) or 225% (2 or more); minimum of 80% (no children) or 107% (with children).
Duration: It depends on the days contributed in the last 6 years: from 120 days of benefit (with 360 contributed) up to a maximum of 720 days (24 months) with 2,160 days contributed.
