Starting January 1, 2026, a new method for calculating the ISEE (Equivalent Economic Situation Indicator) will take effect, designed to be “more favorable for families with children and access to key social inclusion measures,” as outlined in the 2026 Budget Law. The National Social Security Institute (INPS) reminded the public of this change, specifying that the new indicator applies to inclusion allowance, support for training and employment, the universal child allowance, nursery school bonus, home support services, and newborn bonuses.
“This intervention on the ISEE is part of a clear strategy to make welfare increasingly responsive to the real needs of families, strengthening equity, inclusion, and proper access to benefits,” stated INPS President Gabriele Fava, assuring citizens that the Institute “has promptly activated the necessary procedures to determine the new ISEE, allowing citizens to use an essential tool for accessing numerous social and welfare measures without delay.”

Higher Franchises on Primary Residence
The new ISEE includes a significant increase in the franchise value for the primary residence,rising to 91,500 euros for most households and 120,000 euros for families with dependent children. Furthermore, the ordinary 2026 ISEE will be temporarily suspended and then automatically re-examined using the more favorable new ISEE, without any further action required from citizens.For pre-filled DSUs, the automatic exclusion of government bonds, postal savings certificates, and postal savings accounts from movable assets up to 50,000 euros per household remains confirmed (message no. 1895/2025).
Conversely,when submitting the Single Substitute Declaration (DSU) in self-declared mode,the exclusion must be made by the declarant (circular no. 73/2025).For the Universal Child Allowance, amounts relating to January and February 2026 will continue to be calculated based on the ISEE valid as of December 31, 2025, ensuring payment continuity.
