INPS (Social Security) has revalued family and maternity allowances granted by Town Administrations.

Here are the 2007 amounts:

  • 122.80 Euro for the family allowance, for families with three or more kids. The Economic Situation Indicator (ISE) for families with five members must equal or be below 22,105.12 Euro;

  • 294.52 Euro (for a total of 1,472.60 Euro) for the maternity allowance for new babies, pre-adoption assignment and adoption with no assignment taking place between January 1st and December 31st 2007; in this case, the new economic situation indicator value (ISE) for families with three members must be equal to or below 30,701.58 Euro.

The family allowance is only for European Union citizens while the maternity allowance can be applied for by those from outside the Community, as long as they have a regular stay card.
