What is it?

Marriage leave allowance is a social security benefit granted only to non-employed workers who have worked for industrial, craft and cooperative companies, subject to the CUAF contribution, for at least 15 days in the 90 days preceding the date:

  • of civil marriage;
  • of concordat marriage;
  • of the civil partnership.

Who is it aimed at?

The benefit is intended for both spouses/civil union partners when both are entitled to it.

The benefit is available to non-employed workers cwho have worked for industrial, craft and cooperative companies. In order to qualify for the benefit, the indicated persons must meet the following requirements at the same time:

  • having worked, as a worker, for at least 15 days in the 90 days preceding the date of the marriage/civil partnership, for industrial, artisanal or cooperative companies, with the obligation to pay CUAF contributions;
  • having claimed the marriage leave allowance within one year of the date of the marriage/civil partnership.

The allowance is not paid to those who contract only a religious marriage.

You may only be entitled to subsequent allowances if you are widowed, divorced or dissolved from a civil partnership.

How does it work?

WHAT AM I ENTITLED TO?

Marriage leave allowance is equal to seven days' pay. It is calculated on the basis of the salary received in the last pay period.

INPS directly disburses the allowance to non-employed workers.

Marriage leave allowance:

  • may not be cumulated with any other remuneration or payment in lieu of remuneration for the same period;
  • can be cumulated with INAIL's daily allowance for incapacity for work accidents.

Claim

The claim must be submitted directly to INPS within one year from the date of the event. Submission after this period results in forfeiture of the right.

Claims for the benefit must be sent using the specific INPS service.

The following functions will be available as part of the service:

  • Information: benefit information sheet;
  • Claim entry: filling in the claim for Marriage Leave Allowance and sending it electronically;
  • Claim consultation: list of claims for Marriage Leave Allowance submitted/pending.

You can use one of the following channels to submit your claim:

  • online service, using access credentials;
  • Contact centre at 803 164 (free from Italian landlines) or +39 06 164 164 from mobile phones.
  • Online services offered by patronage institutes and INPS intermediaries.

INPS makes the payment via:

  • transfer at the post office;
  • credit to a bank or postal account. Both international and foreign IBANs on SEPA circuit can be indicated.

Processing times

The deadline to define the decision was set at 55 days by the Regulation for the definition of the terms to conclude the administrative proceedings adopted by INPS pursuant to Article 2 of Law no. 241/1990.

The table (pdf 210 KB) attached to the Regulation shows the deadlines for defining the decisions established by the Institute that are longer than the normal 30-day period, and the indication of the relative manager.
