The new ISEE arrives, as redesigned by the maneuver. INPS has adapted its IT procedures to allow the calculation of the new value of the indicator starting from the single replacement declarations presented from January 1st of this year.
How the new ISEE changes on the housing front
The new ISEE, revised and corrected in the budget law, changes especially on the housing front with a significant increase in the deductible on the value of the main residence, which rises to 91,500 euros for the majority of families and to 120,000 euros for families residing in the capital municipalities of metropolitan cities.
To these amounts is added an increase of 2,500 euros for each cohabiting child after the first.
Because the new ISEE favors large families
The increases in the ISEE equivalence scale based on the number of children in the family unit are also strengthened, making the calculation of the indicator more favorable for large families.
To which bonuses and benefits does the new ISEE apply
The new value of the indicator applies to the inclusion allowance, support for training and work, the single and universal allowance for dependent children, the nursery bonus and forms of home support and the newborn bonus.
What happens to applications rejected with the old ISEE
Applications for benefits which, based on the ordinary ISEE 2026, would have had a negative outcome are temporarily suspended and subsequently automatically re-examined with the new, more favorable ISEE, without the need for further compliance by citizens.
What changes for pre-compiled and self-declared DSU
For pre-compiled DSUs, the automatic exclusion of government bonds, postal savings bonds and postal savings books from movable assets up to 50,000 euros per family unit remains confirmed.
Otherwise, for the presentation of the Single Substitute Declaration (DSU) in self-declared mode, the exclusion must be carried out by the declarant.
What happens to the single allowance in the first months of 2026
The INPS explains that for the single and universal allowance, the amounts relating to the months of January and February 2026 will continue to be calculated on the basis of the ISEE valid as of 31 December 2025, guaranteeing continuity in payments.
The official position of the INPS
«The intervention on the ISEE is part of a clear line of action which aims to make welfare increasingly compliant with the real needs of families, strengthening equity, inclusion and correct access to services», states the president of the Institute Gabriele Fava.
