Inclusion Allowance (AdI)
Definition and functioning of the Inclusion Allowance (AdI) as a financial support measure for families with minor children and single parents in difficulty.
What is the Inclusion Allowance
The Inclusion Allowance AdI is a measure of economic support and social and professional inclusion, introduced in Italy on January 1, 2024, to replace the Citizen's Income. It is a monthly economic subsidy paid through an electronic payment card Carta AdI to households that meet certain income requirements and include at least one member belonging to "vulnerable" categories: minors, people with disabilities, individuals over sixty, or individuals in disadvantaged conditions enrolled in care and assistance programs.
Context for Single Parents
For a single parent, the Inclusion Allowance represents a fundamental resource for the maintenance of minor children, especially in the absence of work income or in the presence of a very low family ISEE/glossary/isee-familiare. Unlike other measures, the AdI requires signing a digital activation pact and participating in personalized social or work inclusion pathways. For those raising children alone, the amount is calculated based on the equivalence scale, which takes into account the number of minors in the family unit/glossary/nucleo-familiare and any disability conditions.
Requirements and Obligations
Disbursement is conditional on having an ISEE not exceeding 9,360 euros and residing in Italy for at least five years. The benefit can be up to 500 euros per month multiplied by the equivalence scale parameter, to which a rent contribution of up to 280 euros can be added. The beneficiary single parent must attend meetings at social services or employment centers to maintain the right to the subsidy, except in cases of exemption related to the care of young children under three years old.
