New financial assistance to Ukrainians in Italy for children aged 3 and over (for educational materials, psychological assistance, purchase of items for babies).

The Italian government has increased financial assistance for children under the age of 21. Ukrainian refugees can also count on payments.

Who will the Italian government pay out aid to?

• For families with under-age dependent children up to the age of 21, provided certain requirements are met;
• For each dependent child with a disability, there is no age limit;
• Child benefits will be available to Ukrainian refugees, in particular those who came to Italy after the outbreak of full-scale war and who have a residence permit for temporary protection;
• Please note that refugees who have received €150 for their children within three months can also apply for this assistance, as these are two different subsidies that are not linked to each other.

How do I get assistance for children in Italy?

In case you have already applied for Assegno unico e universale per i figli a carico (Unified and universal allowance for dependent children), you should contact the union to recalculate ISEE and the amount of aid.

The amount of aid varies according to the economic situation of the family unit, based on the ISEE in force at the time of application, taking into account the age and number of children and any situations of disability of the children. Source .

Currently, there are no particular benefits for pregnant and nursing women but in Italy each ASL – Azienda Sanitaria Locale (i.e. the Local Health Authority) has its own Family Service which provides special assistance to women and children. Also you may be able to apply for a bonus for daycare for your children if you have low income.

Yes. If you have a disability, you can submit the request to INPS (the National social security institute) and the outcome will be subject to the medical assessment of the degree of disability.

INPS usually provides following economic contributions that are available also for foreigners under certain conditions:

• Attendance allowance for the beneficiary’s carer;
• Invalidity pension;
• Monthly disablement allowance;
• Monthly allowance for disabled children.

A foreigner may be granted with the above disability economic contributions, even without a long-term EU residence permit, on the sole condition that he/she has been holding a residence permit for at least one year.

In addition to the economic benefits, there are also benefits of a non-economic nature (tax benefits, health care assistance, compulsory employment for the right of disabled people to work, etc.).

How to make a request for proof of disability in Italy?

To prove your disability in Italy, you need to submit a disability request to the local health authority (ASL) of your place of permanent residence, according to your documents in this country - a residence permit (residenza) or a residence permit issued when you receive refugee or asylum status (permesso di soggiorno).

In Italy, it is necessary to obtain at least 74% incapacity for work in order to receive financial assistance, which has the appropriate name:

• Аssegno di inabilità (74-99%)
• Рensione di invalidità (100%)

According to internal information, the vast majority of foreigners are assigned 64%, which, accordingly, does not give the right to financial assistance. Therefore, lawyers advise to appeal the decision of the commission, especially if you intend to stay in this country for a long time.

Financial assistance is also given to those who are unable to take care of themselves independently and need a guardian (accompagnamento).

Disability benefit for minor children (idoneità di frequency) is given only on the condition that the children study or attend rehabilitation centers. Children with disabilities are also assigned care assistance (accompagnamento).

Steps: how to apply for disability in Italy

1. The treating or accredited doctor submits a certificate (certificato medico online) to the National Institute of Social Security (INPS), where he notes the diagnosis and adds a request for disability/handicap/accompaignamento.

The certificate has a cost of €36 (some doctors also issue it for free)

2. Next, you need to apply to the patronage (patronato), an institution in Italy that performs assistance and protection functions for the benefit of employees, pensioners and all citizens who are on the territory of the state, to make an actual request for civil disability (per invalidity civile). This procedure is free, but you need a residence permit and a bank account to which the financial assistance will be transferred

3. The next step will be an examination at the medical board, for which you will need your medical certificates and their translation into Italian.

4. Get the commission's decision on the degree of disability.

5. If you have been denied financial assistance, there are two options:

• submit an appeal to the court.
• wait 6 months and submit another request for deterioration of health (aggravamento invalidity civile).
