With the stability Law one may come important news on the subject of pensions. This time we are not talking about exodus, but about those workers grappling with one excessively burdensome reconciliation of social security payments.
The correction is part of a first package of amendments to the stability law that yesterday the rapporteurs agreed with the government. However, the measure will be the last to obtain the green light from Parliament before the dissolution of the chambers, and it is still unclear how many of the new measures in the pipeline will be able to see the light.
The amendment on pensions provides for correct the rule wanted by the previous Government, which has made the reunification of contribution periods very expensive for those who have passed from public to private work. An originally free operation in this way has come to cost even tens of thousands of euros.
The proposed solution would be only partial: the amendment restores rejoining at no cost to those who switched by 30 July 2010, while for the others it provides for the possibility of cumulating the various pension periods if the requirements for the old-age pension have been accrued on the basis of the rules established by the Fornero reform (at least 66 years of age) and in any case with the highest requirements among those of the various schemes .
Accumulation without charges is also possible for invalidity and reversibility treatments, but not for old-age pensions. The cost of this correction in terms of lost revenue would be 32 million for 2014 and 157 for the following year, when it will become fully operational.
