With a circular, number 142, theINPS wanted to offer some clarification on the naspi, the unemployment benefit in force since last May XNUMXst, as regards some particular cases, starting from those of dismissal. The circular released yesterday states that the hypotheses of dismissal with acceptance of the conciliation offer and disciplinary dismissal are to be considered cases of involuntary unemployment. Therefore, the Inps circular reads, "the redundant workers who fall under these hypotheses are recognized the NASpI indemnity"
The INPS circular on ASPI also states that "with regard to the neutralization mechanism, periods of union leave, periods of redundancy fund in derogation with suspension of the activity at zero hours and periods of work abroad in countries non-affiliated are to be considered 'neutral', with a corresponding extension of both the four-year period for the search for the contribution useful to the NASpI, and the twelve-month period preceding the termination of the employment relationship for the search for the requirement of thirty days of actual work. The circular also provides further clarifications regarding the procedure for calculating the duration of the benefit".
The INPS also specifies that in cases where those who benefit from Naspi should start the voluntary civil service "are regulated in the same way as NASpI beneficiaries who undertake a semi-subordinate work activity during the indemnifiable period and therefore the unemployment benefit can be combined with the remuneration for voluntary civil service, undergoing a reduction equal to 80% of the expected remuneration".
Inps has also provided clarifications on the compatibility of the NASpI allowance with the performance of ancillary work, intermittent work, work abroad and with the performance of elective and non-elective public offices.
Finally, the INPS circular provides a clarification with reference to the cases of individuals who have received unemployment benefits ASpI, mini ASpI and NASpI after the date of the first effective date of the old-age pension, but before the actual payment of the pension. "In particular, - reads the circular - it has been clarified that in cases where the exercise of a faculty of law (e.g. option for the experimental regime for women) entails the completion of the right to a pension at a time prior to the exercise of the option, but allows to obtain the pension only with effective date after the exercise of the same, it is possible to benefit from the unemployment benefit ASpI, mini ASpI and NASpI up to the first useful effective date following the exercise of the aforementioned faculties. clarification, therefore, the interpretative doubts regarding the incompatibility between the receipt of the indemnity and the effective date of the pension are overcome in relation to periods without coverage both for income, since the cessation of work has occurred (this condition of disbursement of the indemnity of unemployment), and pensions, given the effective date of the old-age pension following the date of presentation of the relevant application".
