Manoeuvre, how Isee changes on housing, equivalence scales, Dsu, cryptocurrencies
Disposable income includes cash remittances. Housing excluded up to 92,500 euro, rising to 120,000 if living in metropolitan cities.
Key points
From the equivalence scale to property ownership. From cryptocurrencies to the pre-filled Dsu. The 2026 manoeuvre introduces several novelties regarding the Isee, which from next month many families are called upon to update (or make from scratch) in order to access certain social and family benefits. Let us see in detail what these changes are.
Cryptocurrencies and cash remittances
A first change concerns the calculation method for defining disposable income for Isee purposes. On this point, the manoeuvre also includes foreign currency holdings, cryptocurrencies, or cash remittances.
Housing
A second amendment changes the criteria for calculating the Assets Situation Indicator (ISP), one of the components for determining the Isee. For this purpose, the exclusion threshold is raised from the current 52,500 euro to 91,500 euro and to 120,000 euro for households residing in the metropolitan cities' capital municipalities. The metropolitan cities are the following: Rome Capital; Turin; Milan; Venice; Genoa; Bologna; Florence; Bari; Naples; Reggio Calabria; Cagliari; Catania; Messina; Palermo; Sassari. In addition, there is a further increase in the same limit, to the extent of 2,500 euros for each cohabiting child after the first (instead of the third).
Equivalence scales
The government, again in the manoeuvre, also changed the equivalence scales: 0.1 in the case of a household with two children; 0.25 in the case of three children; 0.40 in the case of four children; and 0.55 in the case of at least five children. Compared to the current rule, therefore, a specific surcharge is also introduced for the case of a household with two children, and each of the other specific surcharges in question is increased by 0.5.
Performances affected by the changes
The institutions for which these changes apply are: the inclusion allowance; training and employment support; the one-off and universal child allowance; the voucher for the payment of fees for attendance at public and private crèches and for forms of home support for children under three years of age and suffering from serious chronic diseases; and the one-off allowance for each child born or adopted.
