What is it?
It is an imputed contribution recognised for periods of performance of voluntary military service 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 due to 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.
This benefit is not available for the Separate Pension Scheme.

- must be uncovered by other contributions;
- must not have already been considered valid for the granting of the state pension or for any other substitute, exclusive or exonerative pension scheme under the Compulsory General Insurance (AGO).
Imputed credit for military service is only possible if, for the period, the establishment of an insurance position with the Compulsory General Insurance cannot be activated (Law 322/1958).
HOW CAN I CLAIM?
The claim can be submitted to the INPS online by using the dedicated service.
In the claim, the claimant must indicate:

The Institute will then directly claim the district or military office, indicated by the individual concerned, to provide supporting documentation.
