The Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport of the Autonomous City of Melilla has made public the provisional list of applications for subsidies intended for the replacement of household furnishings aimed at young people, with 45 grants and 33 denials. The list is published in the Official Gazette of the Autonomous City of Melilla (BOME) number 6431, dated November 13, 2026, with the official reference BOME-A-2026-1270, and opens a ten-day period for appeals.

Regulatory framework and background

The grants are governed by the regulatory bases approved by the Governing Council through Agreement No. 2026000560, dated June 11, 2026, published in the Extraordinary BOME No. 24, dated June 16, 2026. The call for applications was approved by Order No. 1398, dated August 12, 2026, registered under number 2026001398, and published in BOME No. 6407, dated August 21, 2026.

The procedure is processed under a direct grant regime in non-competitive concurrence, in strict order of application entry, with a maximum cost of 200,000 euros charged to budget application 14/33440/78001. The subsidizable amount is 50% of the expenditure actually incurred, with a limit of 3,000 euros per beneficiary.

• Age: between 18 and 40 years at the time of application.
• Census: one year of seniority in the Municipal Register of Inhabitants of Melilla.
• Income: maximum of 30,000 euros gross annual income for the 2025 fiscal year.
• Housing: ownership accredited by a simple note or a current lease agreement.
• Additional requirement: not to have been a beneficiary of this same subsidy previously.

Prior to this provisional proposal, the Ministry published a request for correction in BOME No. 6420, dated October 6, 2026, addressed to applicants with incomplete documentation.

Grants: from 14.47 euros to 3,000 euros

The report from the instructing body, dated November 11, 2026, and the evaluation from the collegiate body, dated the 12th, support a list of 45 approved files. The published amounts are very diverse, depending on the expenditure presented and the 50% limit:

• 125/2026/AJUAR: 3,000.00 euros, the maximum permitted amount.
• 82/2026/AJUAR: 2,711.00 euros.
• 111/2026/AJUAR: 2,517.50 euros.
• 145/2026/AJUAR: 2,480.20 euros.
• 114/2026/AJUAR: 2,061.00 euros.
• 96/2026/AJUAR: 14.47 euros, the lowest amount on the list.

The remaining grants are in intermediate brackets, with numerous files below 600 euros.

Reasons for the 33 denials

The resolution details each rejected application with the code of the applied reason, based on a catalog of thirteen different causes:

• Exceeding the IRPF income limit: 11 files, the most frequent reason.
• Not being up to date with the AEAT, Social Security, or the Autonomous City of Melilla: 6 files.
• Failure to correctly rectify the required documentation within the deadline: 5 files.
• Withdrawal of the application following the requirement of BOME no. 6420: 5 files.
• Having previously been a beneficiary of this same grant: 4 files.
• Failure to prove ownership or lease of the dwelling: 2 files.
• Submitting the application after the deadline or failing to provide an invoice: 1 file in each case.

Ten days for appeals

Notification is carried out via publication in the BOME, in accordance with articles 40 and 42 of Law 39/2015, of October 1, and grants ten days to present appeals. The resolution was signed in Melilla on November 12, 2026, by the Director General of Education, Germán Ortiz Sánchez, and warns that if no appeals are presented within the deadline, the provisional proposal will become final.

The publication directly affects 78 young people who applied for the aid: 45 will receive payment, unless there is an appeal or review to the contrary, and 33 are excluded from the list. For the former, the provisional resolution is the previous step to the payment of amounts intended to cover furniture and appliances in the emancipation process; for the latter, the ten-day period is the last opportunity to correct or dispute the reason for rejection before the closure of the procedure.
