Understand this route
Italy's main anti-poverty benefits, ADI and SFL, are closed to temporary protection: art. 2(1)(a) of Decree-Law 48/2023 requires EU citizenship, long-term residence or international protection. Temporary protection is not on that list, and a refusal is not a clerk's mistake.
What to check
- Your permit type: temporary protection is not on the ADI and SFL list.
- What is open instead: the universal child allowance, social bonuses, regional support.
- After converting your permit: check eligibility again.
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.
