What is it?

Workers in service in the public sector, enrolled in compulsory pension schemes from 1 January 1996, may claim the non-application of the ceiling of the contribution and pension base (Article 2, paragraph 18, Law no. 335/95), on the salary periods following the date of the claim, if forms of supplementary pension schemes have not been activated for the same workers (Article 21, Legislative Decree no. 4/2019, converted with amendments by Law no. 26/2019, as amended by Article 21 of Decree-Law no. 44 of 22 April 2023, converted into Law no. 74 of 21 June 2023).

Who is it aimed at?

The following categories of workers may claim it:

  • employees of public administrations (Article 1, paragraph 2, and Article 3 Legislative Decree no. 165/2001);
  • employees of the independent administrative authorities;
  • employees of legally recognised non-state universities qualified as non-profit public institutions;
  • personnel under public law (e.g. ordinary, administrative and accounting magistrates, lawyers and state prosecutors, etc.) and other categories of employees for legal benefits similar to one of the categories mentioned above.

How does it work?

The claim for disapplication, sent online, is handled by the operator who proceeds with the investigation by verifying:

  • the date of enrolment and social security insurance from 1 January 1996;
  • the disapplication of forms of supplementary pension schemes with contributions from the employer in the sector in which the employee works;
  • the absence of any imputed credits or redemption claims that determine the change in the status of the new enrollee on 1 January 1996.

If the claim is accepted, the disapplication of the ceiling will take effect from the remuneration period that follows the submission of the claim.

If forms of supplementary pension are subsequently activated, the ceiling will be applied once again from the month in which the enrolment of the worker concerned is effective.

The measure, whether favourable or to the contrary, is communicated:

  • to the employer.
  • to the person concerned.

In the event of a rejection decision, it is possible to file an administrative appeal within:

  • 30 days to the Supervisory Committee for Public Pension Schemes;
  • 90 days to the Committee of the different private pension scheme under which the worker is enrolled (Law no. 88/1989).
