Who will the Italian government pay out aid to?

• For families with under-age dependent children up to the age of 21, provided certain requirements are met;

• For each dependent child with a disability, there is no age limit;

• Child benefits will be available to Ukrainian refugees, in particular those who came to Italy after the outbreak of full-scale war and who have a residence permit for temporary protection;

Please note that refugees who have received €150 for their children within three months can also apply for this assistance, as these are two different subsidies that are not linked to each other.

How do I get assistance for children in Italy?

In case you have already applied for Assegno unico e universale per i figli a carico (Unified and universal allowance for dependent children), you should contact the union to recalculate ISEE and the amount of aid.

The amount of aid varies according to the economic situation of the family unit, based on the ISEE in force at the time of application, taking into account the age and number of children and any situations of disability of the children.
