Publication: 3 April 2017 Latest update: 22 July 2025
What is it?
With the entry into force of Law no. 122 of 31 July 2010, Law no. 322 of 2 April 1958 is repealed, along with the additional provisions (Article 40, of Law no. 1646 of 22 November 1962; Article 124, of Decree of the President of the Republic no. 1092 of 29 December 1973; Article 21, paragraph 4 and Article 40, paragraph 3, of Law no. 958 of 24 December 1986) which allowed the establishment of the insurance position with the Employees’ Pension Fund FPLD of the Compulsory General Insurance (AGO).
With this benefit, also known as "Exit aggregation of insurance periods", the civil servant who ceases service without the right to a pension can establish a contributory position with the Employees’ Pension Fund FPLD of the Compulsory General Insurance and transfer all periods to it with the obligation to enrol with the funds of the Public Pension Scheme.
Who is it aimed at?
The service is aimed at civil servants enrolled with the CPDEL, CPS, CPI, CPUG or CTPS fund who ceased service by 30 July 2010 without having obtained the right to a pension.
How does it work?
The repeal of the institution of establishing the insurance position entails the possibility for INPS Civil Servants’ Pension Scheme to attribute the right to a pension, seniority pension or old-age pension, provided the minimum contribution requirements are met, even if the interested party, upon reaching the minimum age requirement provided for by law, is no longer in active service or has ceased employment.
The effects of the repeal are directly linked to the date when Law no. 122/2010 comes into force and depend on the regulations applicable according to the enrolment fund of the interested parties.
Civil servants registered with the Cassa Stato, CTPS of the INPS Civil Servant’s Pension Scheme (which established the insurance position), are subject to the establishment of the insurance position with the INPS Employees’ Pension Fund FPLD of the Compulsory General Insurance, in the event of termination before 30 July 2010.
Regarding employees registered with the CPDEL, CPS, CPI, and CPUG of the INPS Civil Servants’ Pension Schemes, who have ceased service without the right to a pension by 30 July 2010, the establishment of the insurance position in the Employees’ Pension Fund FPLD of the Compulsory General Insurance occurs solely through a claim made by the interested parties.
For terminations from 31 July 2010, the INPS Civil Servants’ Pension Scheme grants, upon claim, subject to meeting the minimum age and contribution requirements, the right to the pension benefit.
From 1 January 2013, exclusively for those enrolled with the CPDEL, CPS, CPI, and CPUG for whom, by 30 July 2010, enrolment in the funds has ceased without the right to a pension, the possibility of submitting a claim for establishing the insurance position in the Employees’ Pension Fund FPLD of the Compulsory General Insurance has been reintroduced (Article 1, paragraph 238, Law no. 228 of 24 December 2012), which in any case does not grant the right for the payment of pension arrears. In the event of death, the right may be exercised by the survivors for the purposes of the legal right and the amount of the survivor's pension or indirect pension due to them.
