Publication of the lists of beneficiaries
INPS has recently announced the publication of the lists, divided by municipalities, of the beneficiaries of the Social Card “Dedicata a Te” on its official channels. This initiative allows municipalities to access the complete lists of families who are entitled to the contribution of 500 euros, thus simplifying the communication and assignment process.
Each beneficiary is identified with a unique card number, provided by Poste Italiane, which will be necessary for collection at post offices. Thanks to the publication, recipients will be able to verify if they are among those who will receive the contribution and find out how to collect it.

Requirements and purposes of the social card
The Social Card “Dedicated to You” is intended for families registered in the municipal registry and with a ISEE not exceeding 15,000 euros per year. The contribution, paid via a prepaid card, can be used to purchase basic food items, fuel and local public transport passes.
It is a measure that aims to provide concrete relief to the neediest families, offering them financial support in a period characterized by increasing economic difficulties.

Card assignment and collection methods
Municipalities are responsible for communicating to beneficiaries that the Social Card has been assigned, indicating the associated identification number. This number will be essential for collecting the card at post offices.
For families receiving the measure for the first time, it will be necessary to follow the instructions provided by the Municipality for collection. Instead, for beneficiaries already in possession of the card, since they were also recipients of the contribution in the previous year, the amount will be directly credited to the same card.
The cardholder can collect it personally or delegate a third party, provided that they have a general or special power of attorney, or another recognized formal act, such as an appointment by the guardianship judge. This ensures that the collection can be performed even by those who are not directly available, but in full compliance with the law.

Use of the Social Card and reference regulations
Once the “Dedicated to You” Social Card has been collected, the beneficiary will be able to use the financial contribution to purchase basic necessities. Among the main products that can be purchased with this card are food, fuel and local public transport passes. It is important to underline that the card does not allow the purchase of goods other than those foreseen, and its use is strictly monitored to ensure that it is used exclusively for permitted expenses.
As for the regulations, INPS reminds that the assignment and use of the card are regulated by specific ministerial directives, aimed at ensuring transparency and correctness in the provision of the contribution. Furthermore, the procedures for delegating the collection of the card are established by legal provisions that require formal documents of legitimacy, such as powers of attorney and judicial appointments, to protect the rights of the beneficiaries.
