Additional amount for pensions

What is it?

The additional amount is an additionalpension payment of €154.94, introduced by the 2001 Finance Law (Article 70, Law no. 388 of 23 December 2000) which is granted to those who receive one or more pensions with a total amount that does not exceed the minimum amount and who meet specified income requirements.

Who is it aimed at?

The additional amount is available to holders of pensions which are all paid by the INPS with the exception of welfare benefits (pensions and social allowances, civilian invalidity benefits), pensions of dependent workers of credit institutions, company directors and non-pension benefits.

How does it work?

For the assignment of the benefit, the following conditions must be met:

• the annual amount of the pension must be less than or equal to the minimum annual benefit increased by the additional amount; if the annual amount of the pension is between the minimum annual benefit and the minimum benefit + the additional amount, the difference between the minimum benefit increased by the additional amount and the amount of the pension is due;
• if the pensioner is alone, the income subject to IRPEF (personal income tax), including their pensions, must not exceed the limit of 1.5 times the minimum benefit; if the pensioner is married or in a civil partnership, the income subject to IRPEF, including all pensions, must not exceed the limit of 3 times the minimum benefit.
