THEThe new bonus introduced by the Government for 2023 is called “savings card” and can be used for purchase basic foodstuffs in all shops participating in the initiative.
Savings card: the new bonus for families
The amount of the card is approximately 380 euros and to access the economic aid, it will not be necessary to apply because the Municipalities will take care of communicating to the citizens the receipt of the bonus. At that point it will be enough go to a Poste Italiane office to collect the prepaid card.
It starts in July
There start date has been set for July and will be addressed to all those who present an Isee up to 15 thousand euros. For the measure, the government has allocated around 500 million euros which will be paid in part to the Municipalities based on the resident population, and in part will be given on the basis of the ratio between the national average per capita income and that of the Municipality itself.
