The Assegno Unico is money for families in Italy. It helps parents with children. The Italian office INPS pays this money every month.

In August 2026, INPS will pay the money on 18 and 19 August. Most families will get their money on these two days.

Some people will wait longer. This happens if they need a conguaglio. A conguaglio is when INPS checks the amount and changes it.

It can also happen if a family has arretrati. Arretrati is money from before that INPS still needs to pay.

The amount of money depends on the family's ISEE. The ISEE shows how much money a family has. Families with less money get more help.

INPS asks families to check their bank account after 18 August. If the money is late, they can look for information about conguagli or arretrati.
