INPS, the request to obtain the ‘mothers bonus’ is online. Here’s how not to risk revocation
All the latest information on the 'mothers bonus' for working women
ROME – The workers who requested the ‘ bonus mums‘ from today they can, via the INPS platform, enter their children’s tax code and apply for the bonus. This function is necessary only for mothers who have already asked their employer to benefit from the measure, failing to communicate their children’s tax codes.
Employed women with at least three children, of which at least one is a minor, will be able to directly communicate to INPS the data for the contribution exemption provided for by the budget law (so-called ‘mothers’ bonus’) until the end of 2026. The exemption for 2024 only is also provided for female employees with two children up to the youngest child’s tenth birthday.
With Message no. 1702 of 05/06/2024, the INPS communicated that the application, called “Mother Workers Exemption Utility”, has been released and is available by accessing the Institute’s website www.inps.it (by authenticating with your digital credentials).
With this message the Institute warns that in the absence of communication of the data the benefit will be revoked. The bonus is not available for domestic work. The exemption is 100 percent of the share of social security contributions for disability, old age and survivors payable by the worker up to the month in which the youngest child turns eighteen (or the youngest child turns 10 in the case of an employee with two children), within the maximum annual limit of 3,000 euros.
In order to facilitate access to the measure, female workers in the public and private sectors holding a permanent employment relationship can communicate to their employer of work the desire to make use of the exemption, disclosing to the same employer the number of children and the tax codes of the two or three children.

The use of the exemption is not subject to the presentation of a specific application for access to the Institute by the worker concerned. The effective use of the exemption occurs following communication by the worker concerned to her employer of her desire to benefit from the bonus. If the worker intends to communicate information relating to her children directly to the Institute, this possibility is permitted through the preparation, by the Institute, of a specific application that the worker can use to communicate the tax codes of her children or, in the absence of their tax code, the personal data. The use of the utility is limited only to cases in which the tax codes of the children have not been entered in the Uniemens flows for the worker, already receiving the bonus.
Access to the utility is allowed exclusively to working mothers for which the Uniemens report flows are present in the Institute’s archives, in which the employer, although indicating the exemption codes, has not indicated the tax codes of the children. INPS will send an email to the employees to complete the declaration.
Failure to communicate the tax codes of the children by the employer in the Uniemens reports or, alternatively, by the worker using the specific application within seven months – highlighted in the communication sent by the Institute – will result in the revocation of the benefit enjoyed.
