- death of the beneficiary or the person obliged to pay the alimony;
- exceeding the limit of economic resources due to a change in the income of the family unit;

Repayment of the advance:
Advances improperly received have to be reimbursed by the recipients, according to the procedure established in the General Regulations on State Finances, approved by Royal Decree 939/2005, of the 29th of July. The Directorate General for Social Security Organisation shall claim the unduly received amount to be reimbursed, providing notification of the amount and starting the voluntary recovery period with this notification.
The
State will be subrogated for the total amount of the advances paid to the interested party, as well as in the rights of the latter with regard to the person obliged to pay the alimony.
This subrogation transforms the nature of the obligation, which becomes public, and will be collected by the State as provided for in the General Budget Law. Therefore, the party obliged to pay the alimony must be informed of the existence of the resolution that recognises the advance and subsequently the amounts owing to the state must be notified and settled, being paid into the Public Treasury, or else collected executively by the State Tax Administration Agency by means of the administrative procedure of enforced collection.
