Single Allowance for August 2025: Payment dates and updates on amounts and arrears

This year, too, when it comes to supporting families with children, the single allowance remains a key feature. August 2025 is no exception : INPS confirms that the payment will arrive regularly, without any surprises, but there are a few details to keep an eye on. Here's what you need to know, including dates, amounts, and small changes that shouldn't be underestimated.

Payments and updates on the August 2025 Single Allowance

The payment schedule was made official by INPS in a message dated July 14th. It runs from July to December 2025 , with specific dates: for August , the single payment will be credited between the 20th and 21st. This isn't a surprise; in fact, it's become somewhat routine. Payments always arrive in the last week of the month following the one in which the application was submitted. Any arrears or adjustments will also be paid during this time frame.

But it's not just a matter of timing. There's also a check to be done, and that requires some technical steps: you need to log in to your INPS profile, using a digital identity such as SPID, electronic identity card, or CNS. This isn't a process everyone likes, but it's necessary to ensure peace of mind and know whether the payment has arrived or not.

Single allowance for August 2025: amounts, beneficiaries, and more details

The single allowance is a support program designed to help families with dependent children. Not just minors: adults up to 21 years of age can also benefit, but under specific conditions. They must be studying, working on a low income, or unemployed and looking for work. Furthermore, special consideration is given to children with disabilities, regardless of age.

Why is it called "single"? Simple: it aims to simplify bureaucracy by bringing together all the various family and birth rate benefits under one roof. And "universal" because it reaches everyone, even those without an ISEE (equivalent to ISEE) or with an ISEE above certain limits. Of course, the amount varies. Isn't it the same for everyone? It depends on the ISEE, the number of children, their age, and their disability. From a maximum of about €201 to a minimum of around €57.50 per child.

Starting in 2025 , a cost-of-living adjustment will be added, +0.8% compared to 2024. Small increases will be made for families with children under one year of age and for those with multiple children. For example, those with at least three children and an ISEE of up to approximately €46,000 can see a 50% increase for children between the ages of one and three. If they have four or more children, there is a fixed bonus of €150 more per month.

All these figures and details are available on the INPS website for the month of August , too, for those who want to delve deeper, but the gist of it is this: the single allowance remains a fundamental support, but it requires attention to understand how it really works.
