Introduction to the 2024 Christmas Bonus
The 2024 Christmas Bonus represents an important measure of economic support for employees, including those in the public sector. Introduced by the Omnibus Decree Law (Legislative Decree no. 113/2024), this bonus of 100 euros is intended for those with an annual income of up to 28 thousand euros. The main objective is to provide help to families during the Christmas season, especially those with dependent children

Request methods for civil servants
Unlike private workers, civil servants can request the bonus through a self-service service available on the NoiPA portal. This system allows you to complete the entire procedure independently, without having to submit a paper form to the employer. Starting in November, it will be possible to access this functionality, thus making it easier to request the bonus
.
Requirements for applying for the Christmas Bonus
In order to benefit from the Christmas Bonus, workers must meet some basic requirements. It is necessary to submit a self-declaration certifying that you have the required conditions. In addition, employees who had multiple employers in 2024 must submit the request to the last employer, attaching the unique certifications issued by the previous ones. In the case of part-time contracts, the worker can choose one of the employers to be responsible for providing the bonus
.
Deadlines and methods of accreditation
The application for the Christmas Bonus must be submitted by 12 noon on Friday, November 22. Starting November 14, it will be possible to view and download a receipt with a summary of the request sent. The bonus will be credited together with the thirteenth month’s rent in December, calculated based on the days worked in 2024, regardless of the type of contract. It is important to note that if the bonus is not due, the amount will be recovered with the February 2025 tax adjustment
.
Final Thoughts
The 2024 Christmas Bonus represents a significant opportunity for civil servants, offering economic support at a time of year that can be particularly challenging from a financial point of view. It is essential that workers are informed about how to apply and the requirements necessary to access this benefit. With NoiPA’s self-service approach, the procedure becomes simpler and more accessible, ensuring that even civil servants can enjoy this important help during the holidays
