The premium on bills to deal with rising gas and electricity prices will change. The measure, also known as a social bonus, consists of an automatic discount directly on the invoice.
Technically therefore, it is not necessary to submit a request, because the reduction is recorded directly on the invoice.
How do you get your bills bonus today
At this time, to have access to the invoice bonus, you must have specific requirements, starting with an economic difficulty. Let’s see what measures are under consideration.
Initially, to access the measure, the Isee ceiling was 8,265 euros. The Energy decree of March 21, 2022 raised the ceiling to 12,000 euros, thus guaranteeing an expansion of the public of beneficiaries of the invoice premium, with an automatic discount for 5.2 million additional citizens.
The new ISEE limit is effective from April 1 to December 31, 2022. But given the continued increase in gas and electricity users and the decline in purchasing power caused by inflation, new investments are needed. .
Bonus invoices: the new measures under study
Two measures are under study and both concern the ISEE. The first option provides for not linking the discount on the invoice to income, since referring to the situation of the previous two years, it does not take a picture of the current situation of needs.
The other hypothesis, on the other hand, is to further raise the ISEE limit to 15 thousand euros. However, the threshold of 20 thousand euros for large families would remain the same.
The current conditions for obtaining the bonus
The bill premium belongs to families in economic difficulty and to large families. Specifically, for the first quarter of 2022, with an ISEE of up to 8,265 euros, while today up to 12,000 euros. To families with at least 4 dependent children and Isee not exceeding 20 thousand euros. Finally, it belongs to income or citizenship pension holders.
Electricity, gas and water bills must be made payable to one of the family members listed in the ISEE. Each family is entitled to a single bonus of each type (an electricity bonus, a gas bonus and a water bonus) for one year under the Single Replacement Declaration.
