Overview
- A grace window runs to January 31, 2026 for mothers who qualify after December 9 but by December 31, 2025.
- The support equals €40 per month up to €480, tax‑exempt and excluded from ISEE, paid as a single lump sum in December 2025 or by February 2026.
- Eligible applicants are employed or self‑employed mothers with either two children (youngest under 10) or three or more (youngest under 18), with domestic work excluded and, for employees with three or more children, no permanent contract in the months claimed.
- Access requires 2025 employment income not above €40,000 and an application filed via INPS channels using digital ID, the Contact Center (803.164 or 06 164.164), or a patronage institution.
- INPS estimates about 870,000 potential beneficiaries, while the 2026 budget bill in the Senate would renew the measure at €60 per month if approved.
