(Tiper Stock Exchange) – On the occasion of the payment of the last installment of Citizenship Income to recipients who have already benefited from 7 months’ salary in 2023, the INPS, with a text message or e-mail, informed the interested parties of the suspension of the benefit as required by law. The social security institution gives the news through a note explaining that “in particular, in the brief communication, it was also recalled that, in the event that social services are taken over, the suspension will be revoked”.
It is specified – it is still read – that this eventuality only concerns people who are in a particular state of complex needs and difficulties in social or occupational integration.
The taking charge clearly cannot therefore concern all the subjects who have already been or can be profitably referred to the employment services to undertake work paths and for whom the same decree-law 4 May 2023 n. 48 (converted, with amendments, by law no. 85 of 3 July 2023) provided for access to the new measure of training and work support starting from September.
Meanwhile, concern grows. “Today a text message from INPS announced to hundreds of thousands of Citizens’ Income beneficiaries the suspension, from August 1, of economic support, as provided for by the work decree, converted into law a few weeks ago. So, simply, 169 thousand people, between 18 and 59, they discover that they are employable, that they are no longer entitled to even one euro, regardless of their condition of vulnerability.
The only hope for thousands of families in poverty remains to be taken care of by the municipal social services, those social services and that care that the Government has sacrificed on the altar of a presumed “employability” that does not take into account the needs and fragility of people”. So in a note CGIL and the FP CGIL who ask for “extend the 7-month deadline for the suspension of the Citizenship Income and allow the population in need to be taken care of by the municipal services”.
