minimum pensions, the measures of the government’s hypothesis one month more per year – BBC

ROME There’s a new hypothesis for the intervention of the government study on minimum pensions, the basic allowance from EUR 500 to month. Difficult to extend to them the 80-euro bonus per month, as was done for employees. Too expensive. The increase would take the form of a check more per year by similar value to that they receive now, between 500 and 600 euro. Still using the riccometro filter, Isee that weighs the income and assets not only of the pensioner but the entire household, excluding those who have other income in the house.

L ‘increasing the minimum, however, it is rejected by unions. Cgil, Cisl and Uil prefer to also give other people the fourteenth , the check cashed in July by the most in those who take less than 750 Euros per month. And raising the bar of no-tax area, the threshold below which you do not pay taxes. The use of riccometro file but does not exceed their criticism. Because? About 40% of minimum pensions are not covered by contributions: go to people, that is, who have worked for a few years and have few payments. “We – says Ivan Pedretti, secretary of the CGIL pensioners – we are naturally in favor of raising the allowance to a minimum. But since it has been much talk of fairness, balance between the contributions paid and cashed perhaps not where we must go. ” The work on the fourteenth, in fact, take into account the contributions paid. Already, the additional amount of the check cashed in July rises in step with the so-called contribution payments. And this is why the round table between the government and trade unions, led by Undersecretary Thomas Nannicini, this measure seemed destined to enter the law of balance. But everything changed after the president of the Council Matteo Renzi asked to put on the table also the increase in lower allowances among those downs, just the minimum. It seems a paradox, but in this case the key word is called equity.

The president of INPS Tito Boeri, interviewed by Sun 24 hours , he said that “seven times out of ten the fourteenth goes to people who are not poor.” Their pension is low but they have other sources of income, estate homes, homes for rent, a husband or a wife with a high income. Why it has taken the intervention rate on minimum along with the use of riccometro. “Being a pension but not charitable in nature measure – confirms his position the president of INPS Boeri – the contributions have nothing to do while it is appropriate to use an instrument that identifies precisely the people who benefit from it.” Basically would not an intervention on pensions but a measure against poverty. It would be wiped out much of the work done by the government and unions to voice consultation. But they are technical details on which Matteo Renzi is ready to move on.
