Dedicated 'Te' Card: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how low-income families in Italy can receive a prepaid card for essential groceries and fuel expenses.
The Dedicated 'Te' Card is a prepaid card provided to help families cover the costs of essential daily needs.
Who it's for
This scheme is designed for low-income families. To qualify, your household must have an ISEE (an indicator of your family's economic situation) that falls below a specific threshold set by the government.
What you get
You receive a prepaid card that can be used to pay for groceries and fuel. This is intended to help manage the rising costs of basic necessities.
What it costs you
There is no cost to apply for this card. You do not need to submit an application yourself; instead, a list of eligible individuals is generated by the national social security agency and sent directly to your local municipality.
The catch to know
You cannot simply let the card sit unused. You must use the card at least once before a specific deadline, otherwise, it will be deactivated.
How to apply
- Ensure your ISEE status is up to date.
- Wait for your local municipality to contact you.
- Follow the instructions provided by your municipality to collect your card.
