Starting from the beginning of April, INPS will ship to the homes of 7 million workers the "orange letters", which will contain the contribution statement and a simulation of their future pension. About 150 letters will be sent a day and will start arriving in the second week of April. Only workers in the private sector will receive them, while the communication will be included in the pay slip for civil servants.
The envelope will also contain an invitation to request the digital identity of the new Spid to access all the additional features offered by the online retirement simulation service.
“Finally we will start sending the orange letters to the homes of Italians – announced the president of the social security institute, Tito Boeri – and we will invite people to digitize themselves and do the simulations online to increase their pension awareness”. The initiative, in collaboration with the AgID, "is mainly aimed at young people and those who do not have a digital identity".
It's not the first time that INPS has announced the sending of orange envelopes, but so far the project has always failed due to postage. Now, thanks to the co-financing of AgID, there should be no more hitches.
“Our goal – continued the INPS president – is to raise awareness of financial and social security protection. Only 4 out of 10 Italians know how to read an account statement, calculate changes in purchasing power, understand the difference in risk between stocks and bonds or the importance of diversifying their portfolio”.
To date, continued Boeri, “18,5 million Italians have received an Inps digital identity and of these 13 million are workers. But there remain 12 million INPS taxpayers without 'pin' of which 42% under 40 and 34% between 40 and 50 years old”. This initiative, dubbed the "digital citizen", sees INPS alongside AgID on various fronts to reduce the digital divide and facilitate the maximum diffusion of Spid.
