When do they pay the single allowance in April 2026? Consult the accreditation dates in the INPS calendar.
The Universal Single Allowance is also paid in April 2026 according to the calendar set by INPS. For families who already receive the benefit and have not undergone changes, the credit is expected on Monday 20 and Tuesday 21 April 2026.
April 2026 Payment Schedule
For benefits already being used and without changes in the situation of the family unit, ISEE or payment details, the Single Allowance will be credited on 20 and 21 April 2026.
For new applications, the payment of the first installment is normally made in the last week of the month following the month in which the request was submitted.
In the event of changes that affect the amount or payment, the credit will be issued in the last week of the month.
ISEE 2026: what happens if it is not updated
To obtain the correct amount of the Single Allowance it is necessary to present a valid ISEE 2026. In the absence of an updated ISEE, from March 2026 INPS will provide the check with the minimum amount expected.
Those who submit the DSU by 30 June 2026 are still entitled to have the amounts recalculated and the arrears paid from March 2026.
Updated amounts of the Single Allowance in 2026
The amounts of the Single Allowance for 2026 have been revalued by INPS.
- Minimum amount: 58.30 euros per month per child
- Maximum amount: 203.80 euros per month per child
The amount actually due depends on several factors, including:
- the value of the ISEE of the family unit;
- the age of dependent children;
- the number of children;
- the possible presence of surcharges.

The Single Allowance can be increased in the presence of particular conditions. Among the main increases foreseen are those for:
- children following the second;
- parents both with income from work;
- mothers under 21 years of age;
- children with disabilities;
- families with at least 4 children, with a flat rate increase;
- children under 1 year of age;
- children between 1 and 3 years old in households with at least 3 children, in the cases provided for by law.
How to check your payment

- the citizen’s social security file on the INPS portal;

IBAN and credit
Payment of the Single Check is made to the bank or postal details registered with INPS. To avoid delays, it is important to check that the IBAN is correct, updated and registered or jointly registered with the beneficiary.
Families who already receive the Single Allowance do not have to submit a new application for 2026, except in cases where the previous one is lapsed, revoked, renounced or rejected.
