Isee to be done (or redone) by June for single cheque arrears

30 June is the last deadline to request or update the Isee 2025 without losing the arrears of the universal single child allowance. Parents with children under 21 (or disabled children with no age limit) who have not yet submitted the Dichiarazione sostitutiva unica (the form to be sent to Inps to ask for the indicator to be updated) from January to today will no longer be able to obtain the arrears adjusted to the economic situation of the household.

The deadline falls just as the restyling of the Isee is being discussed: the Minister of the Economy himself, Giancarlo Giorgetti, declared that the aim is to reform the instrument and 'a technical table has been set up at the Presidency of the Council of Ministers with the task of assessing possible changes to current legislation'. Under consideration are corrective measures to exclude the first home from the index's calculation in order to encourage greater convenience of the indicator of the equivalent economic situation and push for the creation of new households.

In the meantime, those who failed to renew their Isee by 28 February are currently receiving the minimum amount of EUR 57.5 of the single allowance from March. Although the disbursement of the universal measure continues automatically and does not require the submission of an annual application, the Isee is still required to be updated every year in order to take a snapshot of the household's most recent economic situation (in any case relating to two previous years, this year income and assets referring to 2023). The amount of the contribution that reaches more than six million households with children is equal to the minimum amount, however, only if the Isee is equal to or higher than EUR 45,939.56, while it is modulated up to a maximum of EUR 201 for each dependent minor child as the indicator itself goes down.

According to the regulations (as clarified by the Inps Circular 23/2022), only those who update it by 30 June can recover (by means of adjustment, on the first available instalment) the amounts adjusted to the value of the Isee obtained starting from the month of March. The validity of the measure, in fact, runs from March to February of the following year. If the Isee is presented (or updated) from 1 July onwards, however, at that point the adjustment of the amounts due will only take effect from the following month, but all arrears will be lost.

The deadline comes almost three months after the entry into force of the Isee reform, which excluded amounts held in government bonds up to a maximum of EUR 50,000 from assets.
