Italian municipalities implement social welfare support measures

Local administrations in Italy are implementing various social welfare measures to support vulnerable citizens. In Giulianova, applications are now open for the care allowance (assegno di cura), funded through the national fund for non-self-sufficient individuals. This financial support is designed to assist families providing home care for fragile persons. Interested parties must submit their documentation via the municipal portal by October 23, 2026.

In Vasto, 861 families have been identified as beneficiaries of the ‘Dedicata a te’ card, a national initiative providing support for essential food purchases. The benefit consists of 500 euros per year. Once the municipality completes the verification process, INPS will transmit the final lists to Poste Italiane. Beneficiaries will receive home notifications regarding card collection. The first recharge is scheduled for November 4, 2026, and the initial payment must be made by December 16, 2026, to avoid losing the benefit.
