The family unit allowance, paid monthly by INPS, is intended for families with minor children and limited incomes. Every year, through a circular, the INPS sets the income limits for the allowance for the family nucleus and its amount.
Who is eligible for family allowance?:
- households made up of Italian citizens and residents of the European Union, as well as family members who are not citizens of a member state who are holders of the right of residence or the right of permanent residence;
- households composed of at least one parent and three minor children (belonging to the same registered family), who are children of the applicant himself or of his spouse or received by them in pre-adoptive foster care.
- households with income and assets not exceeding those envisaged by the ISEE economic situation indicator valid for the grant.
