The Italian institution Inps has set a deadline of August 12 for families to apply for the 'bonus nuovi nati' (newborn bonus), a one-time financial aid of €1,000 intended to support initial expenses related to the birth of a child. The deadline applies specifically to children born or adopted between January 1 and April 14, 2026, as the 120-day window for submitting applications began with the activation of the online portal on April 14. Families who missed this date will lose their eligibility for the benefit. For children born after April 15, the standard 120-day period from the date of birth applies. To qualify, applicants must meet certain residency, citizenship, and income criteria, including an ISEE (Equivalent Economic Situation Index) of €40,000 or less. The calculation of the ISEE excludes payments received under the Universal Child Allowance, allowing more families to qualify.
