When will the money from the November 2026 single check arrive? It depends on the families and the timing of the application. The measure for families with dependent children is paid according to a table prepared by INPS. The credit of the November installment will arrive in current accounts on Thursday 19th and Friday 20th. This applies to families who already receive the benefit and have not recorded changes compared to previous months. However, the timing changes for those who submitted a new application in October: in this case you will receive the first payment in the last week of November, from Monday 23rd to Saturday 28th.
In the same time window, any adjustments, whether credit or debit, linked to the updating of the ISEE or the modification of the family unit will also be paid. In any case, to see the exact day the transfer is available, it is possible to access the citizen’s social security file on the official INPS portal.
The new amounts in 2027
For 2026, the basic amount due for each minor child varies between a minimum of 58.30 euros and a maximum of 203.80 euros per month. The minimum amount is intended for those who exceed the maximum ISEE threshold (for the current year it is set at 46,582.71 euros), or for those who choose not to submit the declaration. The highest figure, however, is reserved for families with the least advantageous economic situation. The final allowance changes based on the composition of the family and is supplemented by specific increases, foreseen for large families, for children with disabilities and for couples in which both parents receive an income from work.
The ISEE amounts and bands are reevaluated at the beginning of each new year, based on the trend in consumer prices. While waiting for the official INPS circular which will say what the definitive parameters are for 2027, forecasts can be made on future adjustments to inflation. If we consider an increase of 2.9%, in line with the projections developed for pensions, the minimum amount for a minor child would go from 58.30 euros to around 60 euros per month, with an increase of 1.70 euros. The maximum amount would instead rise from 203.80 to approximately 209.70 euros per month.
For the new figures, if we take the example of a family unit with two dependent children who receives the maximum amount of the single allowance, in 2027 the overall economic benefit would translate into an increase of approximately 11.80 euros per month, i.e. almost 142 euros in a year.
The incentive numbers and how it works
According to the latest available data, in the first six months of 2026, checks for 9.9 billion euros were paid to families, in addition to the 19.8 billion in 2025. The data were released by the INPS, which also explained that 6,095,716 families received at least one check in 2026, for a total of 9,613,178 children.
The single and universal allowance is a monthly financial support for families with dependent children and is awarded for each child. Under specific conditions, the contribution has its effects until the age of 21. There are no age limits for children with disabilities. The benefit starts from the seventh month of pregnancy and extends until each child reaches the age of majority. After the age of 18 and up to the age of 21, the amount is recognized for each dependent child, provided that they attend a school, professional or university training course, or carry out an internship or work activity and have a total income of less than 8 thousand euros per year, are registered as unemployed and looking for work with the public employment services or carry out universal civil service. The amount derives from the ISEE based on the age of dependent children and other factors.
