# Italy Introduces New 100 Euro Monthly Bonus for Working Mothers The 2027 budget law expands support for working mothers through a new monthly benefit. - **Source:** [Il Sole 24 Ore – Italia](https://www.ilsole24ore.com) - **Published:** 2026-11-12 - **Topic:** [politics](https://brifing.si/c/politics) - **Original article:** - **On Brifing:** https://brifing.si/s/e7e4384f-5685-4efa-b3f0-05dbba1f447e ## New Monthly Benefit Structure The 2027 budget law introduces a monthly 100 euro bonus for working mothers. This measure applies to both employees, excluding domestic workers, and self-employed women registered with social security. Eligibility requires having two children with one under age ten, or three or more children with one under age eighteen. ## Income and Tax Parameters The benefit is restricted to mothers with an annual employment income not exceeding 40,000 euros. Payments are calculated based on the duration of the employment or self-employment activity during the year. Crucially, this sum is exempt from both taxes and social security contributions, and it does not affect the ISEE calculation. ## Replacing Previous Policy Frameworks This new measure replaces the 60 euro monthly bonus established by decree-law 95/2025. It also repeals the partial contribution exemption previously outlined in law 207/2024, which had been postponed until 2027. The government aims to streamline these various support mechanisms into a single, more consistent monthly payment for eligible working mothers. ## Expanding the Eligible Population The policy broadens access to include mothers with permanent contracts who have three or more children, provided at least one is a minor. These women were previously excluded from the 60 euro bonus because they were beneficiaries of a total contribution exemption introduced for the 2024-2026 period under law 213/2023. ## Estimated Reach and Impact Istat estimates that nearly one million working mothers will qualify for this benefit in 2027. On average, these recipients are expected to receive approximately 1,100 euros per year. The model provides a clear projection of how the new financial structure will distribute support across the identified demographic of working mothers. ## Comparison for Existing Beneficiaries Approximately 820,000 women who received the 60 euro monthly benefit in 2026 will see an increase in their support. These individuals are estimated to receive about 460 euros more annually under the new 2027 rules. This adjustment represents a significant enhancement for the majority of the current beneficiary pool. ## Shift for Specific Groups About 160,000 beneficiaries will experience a change in their financial situation compared to previous exemptions. These women previously received a total contribution exemption, which resulted in an average annual benefit of 1,500 euros. Under the new 2027 system, they will transition to the standard 1,100 euro annual bonus payment. ## Policy Context and Implementation The details of this measure were outlined by Istat during hearings regarding the 2027 Budget Law. By consolidating various exemptions and bonuses, the government seeks to create a more uniform support system. Stakeholders should monitor the official application process to ensure all eligible working mothers receive their entitled monthly payments. ## Sources covering this story - https://www.ilsole24ore.com/art/nuovo-bonus-mamme-1-milione-lavoratrici-AJqFN4CC — --- _Summary written by Brifing from the original reporting.
