Utility Bill Social Bonus: Who Qualifies and What You Get

Learn how to receive automatic discounts on your electricity and gas bills if you meet specific income or health requirements in Italy.

The Utility Bill Social Bonus is a program designed to help households manage their energy costs by providing discounts on electricity and gas bills.

Who it's for

This scheme is available to households that meet certain financial criteria, specifically those with a low ISEE (an indicator used to measure a household's economic situation). It is also available to individuals with specific health conditions.

What you get

If you qualify, you receive a discount that is applied to your electricity and gas bills to help lower your monthly energy expenses.

What it costs you

There is no direct fee to receive this benefit. However, to be eligible, you must have a valid ISEE on file so that your economic status can be verified.

The catch to know

The most important thing to remember is that you do not receive this money as a cash payment or a bank transfer. Instead, the discount is applied directly to your utility bills.

How to apply

  1. Ensure you have a valid ISEE to prove your eligibility.
  2. Verify that your electricity and gas providers are the ones you use for your home.
  3. Check your upcoming utility bills to see if the discount has been applied automatically.
