Chiara Nava Thousands of families could receive a communication from INPS in the coming days regarding checks on the current ISEE used to calculate the 2026 Single Allowance . The Institute is reviewing several declarations that have revealed potential inconsistencies or omissions in the income reported in the DSU. The review specifically concerns the Single Substitute Declarations submitted to obtain a current ISEE, the tool that allows you to update your financial situation when there are recent changes in your income.
By cross-referencing the information self-declared by families with the data already available in the Institute's databases, some positions were identified for further verification.
It's important to emphasize that a notification of an inspection does not constitute a finding of irregularity. Therefore, the selection of a position for further investigation does not mean that the household has received undue amounts.
The investigation will determine whether the declared data is correct or needs to be modified.
What could change about the Single Allowance starting from September?
Verification of the current ISEE could have consequences on the amount of the Single and Universal Allowance starting with the September 2026 payments. If the ISEE is not valid or the situation is not regularized, the allowance may be temporarily recalculated according to the rules established for households without a valid ISEE.
For some families, this could translate into a significant reduction in the monthly payment, up to the minimum amount required by law. However, this situation depends on the outcome of the checks and the regularization of the situation , not an automatic cut applied to all affected families. The objective of the activity is to verify that the benefit is granted based on an updated and properly documented financial situation.
INPS communication and how to regularize your situation
Families affected by the audits will receive a notification directly from INPS. Once they receive the notification, they can verify their status and take action if any data in the DSU is incorrect, incomplete, or outdated. Those who believe they need to correct the information they declared can do so through the Institute's online services or contact a CAF (Tax Assistance Center) for assistance in completing or updating the documentation. If the family believes the information declared is correct, they can provide the necessary documentation to support the information provided, also by contacting the INPS local offices.
These checks are part of the Institute's systematic effort to ensure that the Single Allowance is paid to eligible households and in the amount actually due. Cross-referencing the data therefore helps identify any declarations that do not correspond to the actual economic situation, but also allows for the correction of any errors in completing the DSU. It is therefore important for affected families to pay close attention to the notification received and promptly verify their status.
