Beneficiariasbeneficiarios

Beneficiariasbeneficiarios is not a standard term in Spanish. It appears to be a concatenation of the words beneficiarias (female beneficiaries) and beneficiarios (male beneficiaries). In practice, Spanish uses separate forms to refer to groups by gender, and when a text includes people of all genders, several conventions are used to indicate inclusivity, such as beneficiarios y beneficiarias or beneficiarios/as.

A beneficiary, in general, is a person who receives a benefit, payment, or advantage under a contract, policy, law, or program. The masculine plural "beneficiarios" refers to a group that may be all male or mixed, while the feminine plural "beneficiarias" refers to a group of women. The choice of form depends on the context and the desired level of gender specification in the document or communication.

Beneficiaries appear in a wide range of contexts. In insurance, beneficiaries are those designated to receive proceeds. In social welfare, they are individuals eligible for aid or programs. In grants and scholarships, beneficiaries are the recipients of funds. In wills or trusts, beneficiaries are those who will receive assets. In all cases, the designation of beneficiaries identifies who has a right to receive the benefit, though it does not always confer ownership or control over the underlying asset.

Linguistic practice often favors inclusive formulations. Common approaches include writing "beneficiarios y beneficiarias" or using gender-neutral shorthand such as "beneficiarios/as." Style guides and legal frameworks in different countries vary, but the goal is to clearly name all intended recipients while avoiding ambiguity.
