Here comes the fourteenth 2022. Starting today, Friday 1 July, around three million pensioners in possession of the envisaged personal and income requirements, together with the July pension, will receive the additional month's salary from INPS.
But who gets the fourteenth 2022? When it arrives? How is the amount calculated? We try to answer the most common questions.
Fourteenth month 2022: who gets it?
The fourteenth is one addition to the pension which INPS disburses in the months of July or December ai retired from 64 years upwards with a total income up to a maximum of 1,5 times the minimum annual salary of the employee pension fund up to 2016 and up to 2 times the minimum annual treatment of the Employees Fund since 2017. Translated, to those who complete the necessary requirements by 31 July next, the sum will be paid in July. If, on the other hand, the pensioner turns 64 between August and December, the disbursement takes place at the end of the year. In numbers, the fourteenth should reach about 3 million people.
There is no fixed amount, but the sum varies on the basis of individual income and years of contributions. You don't have to submit requests, but it is the National Social Security Institute that checks, annually, which pensioners are entitled to receive it.
Fourteenth 2022: when does it arrive?
The sum is traditionally paid together with the ordinary July pensions. The sum will therefore be credited to the current account starting today, Friday 1 July 2021, the first bankable day of the month.
Retirees who usually collect their pension in cash at their local post office will be able to do so from Friday 1 July to Wednesday 6 July, with a possible interruption of the service on the public holiday of Sunday 3 July. There is no official calendar, as was the case in the two years of state of emergency, but each post office can recommend a shift (based on last name), by posting a calendar outside.
Fourteenth month 2022: how is the amount calculated?
As mentioned, the fourteenth is paid in July and December to pensioners over 64 who receive treatment up to 1,5 and up to 2 times the minimum treatment, equal in figures to 6.809,79 euros.
The amount also depends on the years of contributions. Through a message posted on June 28, the INPS communicated limits and the amounts valid for 2022.
for pensions up to 1,5 times the minimum:
- with 15 years of contributions for employees and 18 for the self-employed: 437 euros:
- from 15 to 25 years of contributions for employees and from 18 to 28 for the self-employed: 546 euros;
- over 25 for employees and over 28 for the self-employed: 655 euros;
With a pension from 1,5 to 2 times the minimum annual treatment:
- up to 15 years of contributions for employees and 18 for the self-employed: 336 euros;
- 15-25 years of contributions for employees and from 18-28 for the self-employed: 440 euros;
- over 25 for employees and over 28 for the self-employed: 504 euros.
Pension, fourteenth month and bonus 200 euros
For retirees, the good news does not end here, because in July, together with the ordinary pension and the fourteenth, the Bonus 200 euro launched by the Draghi government to help citizens struggling with rising inflation. The amount will be paid automatically by INPS on the July slip to retirees who meet the following requirements:
- a total personal income not exceeding 35 thousand euros gross per year;
- residency in Italy;
- a mandatory pension treatment with effect by 30 June 2022.
