Citizenship income, here’s who will have the single allowance for children
What Vincenzo Caridi, general manager of INPS, said about the single allowance for children and basic income
The single and universal allowance, as explained by the INPS, is an economic support to families awarded for each dependent child up to the age of 21 (subject to certain conditions) and without age limits for disabled children.
The amount due varies according to the economic condition of the family nucleus on the basis of the ISEE valid at the time of the application, taking into account the age and number of children as well as any situations of disability of the children.
The check is defined as unique, as it is aimed at simplifying and simultaneously strengthening interventions aimed at supporting parenting and birth rates, and universal as it is guaranteed to a minimum extent to all families with dependent children, even in the absence of an ISEE o with ISEE above the threshold of €43,240.
THE SINGLE CHECK THAT REPLACES THE CITIZENSHIP INCOME
The INPS, the social security institute, at the center of the political debate in recent days for the decision to communicate the loss of Citizenship Income (RDC) via text message to around 160,000 citizens, "will pay the single check without deductions to who will lose the Citizenship Income”. This was stated in an interview with Messaggero by Vincenzo Caridi, the general manager of INPS, who specified that "until February 2024 the sums will be paid directly to the income card".
Regarding the amounts, in fact, the Roman newspaper observes that "the beneficiaries of the Income perceived it 'reduced' on the basis of an equivalence scale" because "a family that receives a 700-euro subsidy and has three children, instead of 610 euros, has a single check for 400". Now, however, the director of the Institute guarantees "they will have the amount without deductions". And from February 2024, they will have to make a new application.
HOW MANY PEOPLE PERCEIVED THE DRC
In addition to the 160,000 households that have already received the text message and who have been paid the last installment of the seven months in July, the message will still be sent to another 30,000, who will see the seventh and final installment credited in August.
“We expect – added Caridi – that another 40 thousand in total may lose their Citizenship Income from September to December. A total audience, therefore, of 230 thousand households. But it is a figure destined to decrease further as a result of further taking charge by the Social Services. For the others – from September – the possibility of requesting the new Support for training and work opens up".
FROM DRC TO INCLUSION CHECK FOR THE FRAGILE
As for the so-called 'fragile' households, which number at least 750 thousand, the INPS general manager explained that they will continue to receive the Citizenship Income until 31 December and that from 1 January 2024, these same households will be able to have the Inclusion check.
DRC SCAMS
With respect to the scams on Citizenship Income, which continue to emerge, Caridi assured that "over time, the Institute has carried out all the checks it has been able to do and on the basis of the provisions of the original rule on the RDC".
“When I was appointed general manager in 2022 – he underlined – I issued a directive that deals only with these controls, focusing above all on those prior to disbursement. Result: in 2022 the applications rejected before disbursement rose to 524,623 or 32,131 more than in 2019 and the services forfeited – as a result of the automatic control mechanisms introduced – were over 300 thousand in 2022 compared to just over 66,000 of 2019".
WHEN WILL THE SOCIAL AND WORK INCLUSION INFORMATION SYSTEM START AND HOW WILL IT WORK
Finally, according to what was declared by the director general of INPS, the information system for social and occupational inclusion (Siisl), the platform that should cross the demand and supply of work for former income recipients will start on 1 September.
“Inps – he explained – is participating in the forefront of the implementation, in close collaboration with the Ministry of Labor and Social Policies. In addition to linking the various platforms already used in the interactions between the ministry, municipalities, regions, Anpal and INPS itself, it will allow the various players to operate in close synergy and will make a new platform available to users, completely dedicated to accompanying and support in the process of activation, training and job search. On this we will strive to operate better and better: we are committed to adapting the information systems, to allow the new, articulated but complete system, which integrates active and passive policies, to function properly”.
