Understand this route
Temporary-protection holders are entitled to the universal child allowance (INPS circular 41/2023). The two-year residence requirement was abolished on 21 April 2026 by art. 7-bis of Law 50/2026, which removes the main obstacle for recent arrivals. The amount depends on ISEE; without an ISEE only the minimum is paid.
What to check
- Whether an application has been filed with INPS.
- An ISEE: without one you get only the minimum.
- If you were refused over the two-year residence rule: it was abolished on 21 April 2026.
- An IBAN in your name for payment.
Caveat
Two different dates. At EU level temporary protection runs to 4 March 2028 (Council Decision (EU) 2026/1912). Italian instruments, as at 26 September 2026, are still tied to 4 March 2027, and we found no Italian implementing act for 2028. Check your questura and the Ministry of the Interior before acting.
