Work but Receive Little? You May Be Entitled to Social Security Support Even with a Salary

Having a job and receiving a salary does not automatically exclude access to the Social Integration Income (RSI), as long as the household income remains below the legal limits. Social Security considers only 80% of dependent work income when calculating the benefit, which may be only 50% during the first 12 months of a new professional activity. The RSI reference value was updated to 247.56 euros in 2026, with maximum amounts varying according to family composition. In addition to income, there are also limits on financial assets (maximum of 60 times the IAS, or 32,227.80 euros in 2026). The application can be made online or in person. From 31 December 2026, the RSI will be replaced by the Single Social Payment (PSU), which will include a gradual reduction mechanism for support as professional income increases.
