The Council of Ministers has definitively approved the legislative decree introducing the inclusion income (Rei). The measure is aimed at an audience of 400 families, equal to approximately 1,8 million people. Rei replaces Sia, support for active inclusion. The amount of the aid corresponds at most to that of the social allowance for the over 65s with no income, equal to 485 euros per month. The amount will depend on the number of family members and on the family and income situation.
