Hello:

I am on 'trajeta de residencia'. I completed 4 years already, and will go for the next renewal (getting 'larga duracion) in Feb 2013.

If I am on 'paro' and get benefits from the government now, will it affect my getting larga duracion in feb 2013?

After 6 more years when I am eligible for citizenship, will the number of weeks/months I have been on paro have any affect?

Steve
