Definition of "Nuclear Family
For the purpose of award of benefits, the students nuclear family comprises the student
him/herself and all those recorded as living at the same address, on the official family status
certificate, even if they are not blood-relations.
The following are in any case considered to be part of the students nuclear family:7
the students parents not legally separated or divorced and any other dependent
children, even if not recorded as living at the same address on the official family status
certificate;
the parent receiving maintenance cheques for the student, in cases of divorce or
separation; If maintenance cheques are not received, the parent with whom the student
lives;
any parties placed in the care of the students parents.
any parties who are dependants for tax purposes of one of the members of the
nuclear family, even if not living with that member;
any brothers/sisters who, while no longer living with their original family, continue to
maintain their official residence at the same address, that is who are still included in the
official family status certificate;
Independent Students
A student constitutes his/her own nuclear family independent of his/her family of origin when
BOTH the following criteria are met:
A. RESIDENCE as recorded on the official residence certificate different from that of the
family of origin for at least the past two years. The students residence must not be in
a property owned by a member of the original nuclear family;
B. receipt for at least the past two years - of HIS/HER OWN, TAX-DECLARED
INCOME of at least 7,766 Euro per year, deriving from subordinate or any other form
of employment. For the purpose of this provision, the student must not be employed by a
member of his/her family.
In all cases where the student, although not living with his/her original family, does not meet the
criteria of independence, reference is made to the members and to the financial conditions and
assets of the original nuclear family.
Should the official family status certificate show that the independent student lives
with another person, both their incomes must be considered, even if they are not blood
relations.
Married Students
Married students always form independent nuclear families with their spouses unless they are still
officially recorded as living with their original nuclear family. In such cases, for ISEEU purposes, the nuclear
family shall consist of the husband and wife and any other persons included on the official family certificate.
See Art. 1-bis of Italian Prime Ministerial Decree no 221, 7 May 1999

family shall be used to calculate all the financial situation indicators. They shall be considered at
50%.
Income received and assets owned abroad;

The income and assets of the members of the nuclear family received/owned abroad in 2011 shall be
assessed according to the average exchange rate for 2011.
