740 Registering dependants

Hello,
I am going to be working in Rome from Sept onwards and my employer will be sorting out my Permesso di Soggiorno and Codice Fiscale. This entitles my to register with a GP , open bank accounts etc. Does anyone know what the situation is with my wife, who has yet to get a job? Will she be able to register , etc and take up health care? Will she be entitled to Unemployment benefit ( if there is such a thing?)

Hope there is someone out there who can help

Many thanks

There are many people on this site that know more about this than me.
I have been told that as a unemployed person your wife can join the National Health Service (SSN - Servizio Sanitario Nazionale) for an initial cost of 388 euro as long as she has a valid permit to stay, this I believe will last a year and will give the same cover as an ½ûÂþÌìÌà National.
If she starts work then it's a different ballgame.
This is a subject I am researching myself as I will be in a similar situation.
There is a form E106 you may be able to get try [url]www.dwp.gov.uk[/url] and search for E106.
Best of luck

She will be able to regisetr and will be entitled to health care, but the unemployment benefit in Italy doesn't really exists...but I am sure she will get a job quite easily in Rome!
Good luck

Like Stribs there are probably other people on the site that know more about this but your wife will be able to get a permesso di soggiorno and codice fiscale - having a job is not necessary to get that. Going to the questura and agenzia delle entrate will sort them out. As far as unemployment benefit goes the way I understand it is that here you can only receive it if you have made 6 months of contributions and then you only get a maximum of 6 months. That's only what I've heard in general conversation so I'm happy to be corrected by anyone that knows in a more official capacity.
