New legislation
On 26 March 2025, the Chamber of Deputies approved a government amendment introducing a new state social assistance benefit (the so-called “super benefit”), which significantly modifies several existing social benefits. The draft now heads to the Senate and, once confirmed and signed by the President, the changes will be put into practice from autumn 2025. The new system merges multiple benefits into a single one while increasing the benefits collected for the needy. Among the main changes approved are:
The amendment also contains other changes – for example, the extension of the period of payment of replacement maintenance (alimony) by the state from 4 to 6 years or the introduction of new benefits for studying parents and socially vulnerable university students (the so-called “babysitter’s fee” and study allowance) from 2026. The main objective of the reform is to simplify and clarify the system of state social support by merging several benefits into one, while strengthening targeted assistance to the needy.
Have you had something happen that has legal implications but you don’t know what course of action makes sense? Do you suspect you are entitled to something, but are not sure whether or how to claim it? Or have you read advice on the internet but each says something different? A Consultation with a Solicitor is just for these situations.
In person and online. Just choose the appropriate service or opt for an independent consultation when you are unsure.
