As planned beforeOut Through Circular No. 3102 of last August 11, it was assumed that the examinations for 2020/2021 would take place in two distinct phases, taking into account the levels of health emergencies in the countries in which the retired persons subject to verification reside. In cooperation with Citibank and the consular network, the entity was able to resume investigations that had previously been discontinued.

However, the new wave of the Coronavirus outbreak has forced INPS to extend the deadline for sending these contacts by three months (the deadline is now set for May 7). If the Certificate of Presence in Life is not received by the due date, the Foundation will be authorized to stop disbursing the allowance starting from the following month (June 2021). Meanwhile, the pensioner will only have the possibility to collect the pension in cash at the agencies Western Union From your country of residence. In doing so, he will have to present evidence of his presence in life directly to the bank, with his personal documents showing at the counter as additional evidence. On the other hand, if even this method is not collected, then the pension will be terminated immediately.
There is, too The second phase (Scheduled between January / June 2021 for residents of Europe, Africa and Oceania) has been postponed due to the health emergency. “The start of the verification campaign scheduled for January 2021 has been postponed by four months, so Citibank NA will begin shipping out Proof of Life application forms in the first week of May 2021 and these must arrive at the bank. By September 7, 2021.”In fact, we read in INPS Circular 225. Also in this case, the possibility of withdrawing cash from Western Union remains if not communicated during the deadlines set before the check is held.
