ROMA (Reuters) – the government denies the intention to intervene and survivors’ pensions, ie those that belong, in part, to the spouse and the heirs in the event of the death of the worker or pensioner for the amount of contributions paid.
“The survivors ‘pensions will not be touched, “said Yoram Gutgeld, Commissioner spending review at 24 AM on Radio 24 on the assumption of a cut in Def to survivors’ pensions.
Yesterday, in a statement, the president of the Working Committee of the House, Democrat Cesare Damiano had emphasized a reference to survivors’ pensions in Def , calling on the government to correct it.
“the sentence is precise: ‘ poverty: the norm rationalizes the charitable nature of performance and the performance of social security by introducing the principle of selective universalism ‘, “wrote Damian. “We know that the government has ruled out any intervention on the issue of reversibility: we share this position and believe in the good will of the executive.”
The controversy is not new. In fact, the government, under the authority on anti-poverty measures, wants to use the ISEE (indicator of equivalent economic situation) as a parameter for the allocation of the survivor’s pension, which will therefore depend on the family economic situation where the beneficiary lives.
the change will only cover future pensions (at least starting six months after approval of the measure by the Parliament) and in any case the criteria will be “necessary, adapted to the specific nature of certain benefits,” says the text of the delegation.
According to the government, the current beneficiaries of survivors’ pensions are just over 3 million, at a cost of about 24 billion euro a year.
The INPS estimated that in 2014 almost 4 million pensions are going to surviving spouses, of which nearly 200,000 paid for the first time.
