INPS February 2026 Pension, Naspi and bonus payments: the calendar
The Payment of February pensions has already started on Monday 3 February for those who have chosen to be credited directly to their bank or postal account. Those who, however, have chosen to withdraw the sum in cash at the counter will have to wait their turn according to the distribution based on the alphabetical order of surnames. Adjustments related to the cost of living are confirmed in this month’s amounts. Necessary adjustments to ensure that the pension allowance does not lose value compared to the increase in prices of basic necessities that occurred in the last year.

This is a measure that is now automatic for those who have already received it in the past months, but which requires particular attention at this time of year.
The central point concerns the ISEE: if, in fact, the updated model for 2026 is not presented, the INPS automatically applies the minimum quota envisaged. This means that, although you are entitled to a higher amount, without the new document, the amount drops drastically. Once the situation has been regularised, the correct amounts will be restored with the related arrearsi, but presenting it in time avoids finding yourself with a reduced budget in the current month.

This gradual decline is required by law to encourage the search for new employment.
Other income supports: the Dis-coll
In addition to unemployment for employees, payments are made to other categories of workers in the same period. One of these is Dis-coll, i.e. unemployment compensation for so-called co.co.co. and for doctoral students or research fellows who have terminated their collaborative relationship. The amount and duration of the subsidy strictly depend on the contributions paid in the previous year.
The Iscro for self-employed workers
Another important help that is paid between 10 and 15 February 2026 is the Iscrothe extraordinary income and operational continuity allowance. This is specific support for self-employed workers with VAT number registered for separate management which have recorded a drop in turnover of at least 50% compared to the average of previous years. To have absolute certainty on the day of accreditation, each beneficiary can consult their social security file on the INPS website.
Nursery bonus and inclusion allowance

Among these is the Nursery bonusa reimbursement that the State guarantees to help parents cover the costs of school fees for their little ones. Payments are expected between the 15th and 20th of the month. Once INPS has verified the invoices or payment receipts that parents must upload to the portal.
