Quota 100, advance on state severance pay: interest paid by pensioners

State employees who retire with the 100 quota will risk waiting up to 7 years to receive the severance pay – To avoid this wait, Minister Bongiorno spoke of a bank financing system: the problem is that interest, apparently, does not will be fully paid for by the state

Quota 100, advance on state severance pay: interest paid by pensioners

The decree on share 100 should be approved on Thursday by the Council of Ministers, but some issues are still unresolved, starting with the problem of Tfr (or Tfs) to the state.

The Minister of Public Administration, Giulia Bongiorno, had assured that civil servants would not be penalized in any way. And yet, all the drafts of the decree that have been circulated foresee a considerable disadvantage.

In fact, in order to receive the severance pay, state employees who choose to retire early with a quota of 100 will have to wait for the terms established by the Fornero law. The problem is that, based on these criteria, civil servants already collect the severance pay about two years after retiring.

Now, considering that from this year the quota 100 allows you to retire as soon as possible at 62, while the minimum age for old-age pension has risen to 67, state workers risk having to wait up to seven years before receiving the severance pay.

“We want to find a solution – said Bongiorno – that allows through a bank financing system, the interests of which will be borne by the State, to reduce the times", so as to give pensioners the severance pay "at the time of cessation of work". It is a pity that the minister herself then corrected herself, specifying that a portion of the bank interest would be borne by the employees.

This hypothesis has unleashed the wrath of the trade unions: "If the idea were to make workers pay the burden connected to the advance of the accrued liquidation, to deal with the deferment of payment of the due benefits - said Maurizio Petriccioli, secretary general of Fp Cisl – our evaluation would certainly be negative”.

Along the same lines Serena Sorrentino, general secretary of the FP CGIL: "It is a problem for the government to have determined a difference in treatment between public and private workers and a penalization for public employees and now they should even pay in part the advance receipt of the severance pay/Tfs which is, let us remember, the provision of part of wage. We are not there, we will fight this injustice ”.

Also for this reason, the CGIL, CISL and UIL have convened a national demonstration for February 9th.
