Inclusion Allowance: Will Payments Be Issued This Week or Next?

Anticipation Grows for the Upcoming Inclusion Allowance Payment

The anticipation for the next payment of the Inclusion Allowance is on the rise.
This financial aid was introduced by the Meloni government, significantly reducing the number of beneficiaries compared to the previous Citizenship Income.

Following the initial payment made in recent weeks, which benefited recipients who just this month received a positive outcome along with their loaded cards, preparations are underway for the second disbursement.
This will impact the majority of the nearly 700,000 families receiving such support.

When Will the Inclusion Allowance Be Paid?

As previously reported, the INPS (National Social Security Institute) has yet to announce the payment dates for August.
This contrasts with prior months when they specified the payment schedule with message No.
835 of 2024, which only covered up to July.

This uncertainty means we cannot definitively state when the Inclusion Allowance for August will be paid, although indications suggest that funds may arrive either this week or next week.

According to our sources, the INPS intends to maintain a consistent monthly calendar for the Inclusion Allowance payments, similar to the previous model for the Citizenship Income.
There have been exceptions in the past few months when payments arrived earlier or later than expected.

From August onwards, the plan is to standardize the distribution of cards to those who received positive outcomes on the 15th of the following month, while other payments will be made on the 27th.
As such, recipients should anticipate that the August Inclusion Allowance will not be processed this week but next week instead.
The processing period will take place between Saturday, August 24, and Monday, August 26, with the funds credited to cards on Tuesday, August 27.

Importance of Monthly Processing

It is crucial to remember the significance of the monthly processing that the INPS conducts before issuing payments.
This review assesses any changes that could lead to an adjustment in the allowance amount, whether an increase or decrease.

The regulations require all recipients to report significant changes impacting their eligibility.
For instance, if a family member begins new employment earning above a presumed income of €3,000, or if someone resigns from their job, this must be communicated.
Failing to do so can result in severe penalties, even criminal consequences.

Accordingly, it is not guaranteed that the amount of the Inclusion Allowance will remain constant month to month.
It could decrease if the family’s income rises, such as due to starting a new job or receiving a pension.
Conversely, it might increase if there is a loss of income, which requires the submission of a current ISEE (Equivalent Economic Situation Indicator).

In some instances, payments may not occur at all.
For example, if a family member resigns without just cause, it could jeopardize the entire household’s right to the Inclusion Allowance.
Moreover, those who do not meet deadlines—like consulting with social services within 120 days from signing the digital activation pact—risk having their ADI (Inclusion Allowance) payments suspended in the month following the missed deadline.
