What is it?
It is an imputed contribution recognised for periods of carrying out compulsory military service or call-up in the Italian Armed Forces or in equivalent service.
Who is it aimed at?
It is aimed at:
- workers or pensioners, who have an insurance gap as a result of having carried out military service;
- survivors of the insured person or the deceased pensioner.
How does it work?
The funds to which these contributions can be credited are:
- Compulsory General Insurance (AGO) for dependent workers;
- Special schemes for self-employed workers;
- Special pension funds managed by the INPS, where required by the relevant regulatory provisions;
- Exclusive funds of the AGO.
This benefit is not available for the Separate Pension Scheme.
