The 2 people receive the Asi
The amount of Asi paid to your couple each month is equal to the difference between €1,574.24 and the amount per month of income taken into account of your couple.

- The total amount of Asia paid is €1,574.24 -€700=€874.24 per month.
- Each person in the couple receives €874.24 / 2 = €437.12 per month.
Reminder
The Asi is not paid if the amount per month of the income taken into account of your couple exceeds €1,574.24 per month.
1 person receives Asi
The maximum amount of the Asi paid each month shall be equal to the difference between €899.56 and the minimum amount of the invalidity pension (€328.07), which gives €571.49 maximum per month.
