The decree comes into effect on Saturday, 14 February, and is retroactive to 1 January 2026, with the RSI reference value set at €247.56, corresponding to 46.09% of the Social Support Index (IAS).

According to the decree, the update takes into account “the average variation of the last 12 months of the consumer price index (CPI), excluding housing, with reference to the month of December 2025, which was 2.20%”.

The reference value defines the maximum amount a beneficiary or household can receive, as the RSI is not a fixed benefit.

The RSI (Social Integration Income) is calculated by subtracting the beneficiary's or household's actual income from the reference value.
