What is the 2024 Bill Bonus
The 2024 Bill Bonus is a discount applied to electricity, gas or water bills, intended for families with a low income. It is recognized for a period of 12 months and can be renewed. The measure is available for families with:
- ISEE up to 9,530 euros.
- ISEE up to 20,000 euros for families with at least 4 dependent children.
The bonus covers only one supply per type (electricity, gas or water) and is also valid for those who live in condominiums with centralized supplies.
Requirements for Obtaining the 2024 Bill Bonus
In order to be entitled to the 2024 bill bonus, in addition to falling within the ISEE limits indicated above, it is necessary to meet some requirements that vary depending on the type of supply.
Direct Supply
- Title of the contract: The supply (electricity, gas or water) must be in the name of one of the members of the family unit indicated in the ISEE declaration.
- Household use: The supply must be for resident household use.
- Active supply: The service must be active or, if suspended due to arrears, it must still be in progress.
Centralized supply
In the case of centralized supplies, such as for gas or water in apartment buildings, the bonus can be recognized if the supply is active and used in residential premises. To obtain the water bonus, it is also necessary that the household has an active electricity supply
.
How to Claim the 2024 Bill Bonus
The bonus is automatically recognized in the bill to those who meet the economic requirements. However, it is essential to submit the Single Substitute Declaration (DSU) every year on the INPS portal to obtain the ISEE certificate. This document allows the authorities to verify the eligibility of the family unit through the Integrated Information System (SII), which collects supply data
.
Condominium Bill Bonus: How It Works
For families living in condominiums with centralized gas or water supplies, it is necessary to communicate the PDR (Return Point) code to the Integrated Information System. The PDR can be requested from the condominium administrator. Once the checks have been carried out, the beneficiaries will receive the bonus by bank transfer, check or another method
agreed with the manager.
Amount of the 2024 Bill Bonus
The bonus amounts vary depending on the type of supply and the composition of the household. ARERA, the Regulatory Authority for Energy, Networks and the Environment, updates the values periodically. Below is an overview of the bonuses planned for 2024.
Electrical Bonus for Economic Hardship
- 1-2 components: 142.74 euros per year.
- 3-4 components: 183.00 euros per year.
- More than 4 components: 201.30 euros per year.
Bonus Gas
The value of the gas bonus varies depending on the climate zone and is updated quarterly. The amounts expected for the third quarter of 2024 are indicated in the ARERA table, but in general the discount may vary considerably
.
Water Bonus
The water bonus covers a minimum consumption of 50 liters per inhabitant per day. For a family of 4, this corresponds to a discount on 200 liters per day. The value depends on the rates charged by the local water manager
.
When does the 2024 Bill Bonus arrive
After the submission of the DSU, the bonus is recognized within 3-4 months for electricity and gas supplies. For water supplies, crediting may take 6-7 months. For centralized supplies, the verification process takes about 60 days from the moment the manager receives the necessary data from the Integrated Information System
.
The 2024 Bill Bonus represents significant help for families in economic difficulty, reducing the impact of utility costs. The bonus is applied automatically, but it is essential to ensure that the DSU is submitted every year to obtain the ISEE certificate and maintain access to the benefit
