The pension benefits paid by INPS to citizens are really numerous and can be of a social security or welfare nature.
The benefits of social security nature are linked to the contribution aspect, for example:
- * old age pension;
- * early retirement (former retirement pension);
- * ordinary disability allowance;
- * survivors’ pension;
- * disability pension;
- * Housewives Fund.
The services of welfare nature fall within the right, recognized by the Italian Constitution, to citizens unable to work and without the necessary means to live the right to maintenance and social assistance:
- * social allowance (former social pension);
- * benefits for civil invalids.
We remind you that non-EU citizens insured with INPS are entitled to the same pension benefits provided for Italian workers.
