Crediting of imputed contributions for illness and injury
Publication: 21/01/2022

The benefit is intended for those who find themselves temporarily unable to work for a period of at least seven days due to illness.
In order to obtain the credit, at least one contribution paid before the first day of illness or injury is required.
Imputed contributions for illness or injury can be credited within the limits of the following table.

The claim must be submitted by the individual concerned, or by their survivors, to the INPS office to which they belong, along with the following attachments:
- certification of sickness issued by the INAM for periods prior to 01 January 1980;
- certification of accident issued by the INAIL;
- medical records or statement by the public hospital attesting the hospitalisation period.
If, during periods of illness, the individual concerned has not been covered by a social security entity or has not been admitted to, or hospitalised in, a public hospital institution, recognition of the illness and the length of the creditable period shall depend on the time limits for lodging statements about the start and end of the illness.
The start date of the illness must be reported within 60 days, complete with a medical certificate. If the report is submitted after 60 days, but still consistent with the illness, recognition of the creditable period of imputed contributions shall commence from the 60th day prior to the report.
The end date of the illness must be reported within 15 days, complete with another medical certificate. If the report is submitted after 15 days, only periods of infirmity attested by certification submitted with the declaration of the start of the illness or, where appropriate, during the same period shall be recognised. Therefore, if no other documentation is submitted by the applicant after the timely notification of the onset of the illness, recognition should be granted only for the period of illness within 60 days prior to the date of the report.
