Liguria. They are more than citizens’ requests for the transition from citizenship income to inclusion allowance have been halved, the new income support desired by the Meloni government and operational from this year. This is made known byEnasc, the Unsic patronage (Cnel member), among the first in Italy for the volume of processing of social and social security practices.
Meanwhile, based on data from the Financial Police relating to the period from April 2019 to the first half of 2023the map of irregularities on the citizen’s income, the percentage is in first place Calabria, followed by Marche, Liguria, Piedmont/Valle d’Aosta, Umbria and Veneto, but in terms of subjects reported and amount of fraud ascertained, Lombardy is in the lead followed by Campania and Sicily. The most virtuous is clearly Trentino-Alto Adige, followed by Abruzzo, Molise, Basilicata, Tuscany, Sardinia, Emilia-Romagna, Friuli-Venezia Giulia and Lazio.
In Liguria the irregularities found stand at 90.39% with 1,251 irregularities out of 1384 checks carried out, 1,156 subjects reported and a volume of confirmed fraud equal to 10,671,320 euros.
At a national level, this year, 39,480 applications for the Inclusion Allowance (ADI) were forwarded by Enasc to 31 May 2024, of which approximately half were accepted. According to the body’s estimates, by the end of the year they could reach 50 thousand. Applications for citizenship income between 2020 and 2022 to Enasc averaged around 130 thousand. In the transition from the Rdc to the AdiUnsic therefore estimates a at the end of the year there was a 62% drop in applications and around 75% fewer recipients of support.
“The drop in applicants is a consequence of the more complex and selective procedures for accessing the ADI – he explains Domenico Mamonepresident of Unsic and CNEL councilor – if the citizen’s income was a benefit initially provided on the basis of the information self-declared by the user, with the checks postponed to a later phase, theAdi includes multiple preliminary checks to guarantee the correctness of the information declared and find confirmation in the various databases available to the Ministry of Labour”.
The audience of possible beneficiaries of the ADI is also reduced by theSignificantly lower ISEE amount and from a lower asset value compared to that provided for by the citizen’s income.
“The transition between the two instruments is confirmed to be characterized by a real change of direction – continues Mamone – the ADI is obtained by a group of truly disadvantaged, disabled or in difficulty subjects, who must present substantial documentation issued by a public body , sign a Digital Activation Agreement (Pad) indicating three employment agencies and accepting a process of taking charge. In short, everything is longer and more selective than the citizen’s income and for the checks we can finally get ahead of the game thanks to data cross-referencing and the IT backbone”.
One of the main frauds linked to unpaid debts, reports Unsic, concerns the deceptive residences in Italy by citizens living abroad and to create single-family units (among the most sensational recent cases is the discovery of the presence of 50 residents in the same address), but also false purchases in points of sale to certify residence in Italy for at least ten years by non-EU citizens. Then there is the complacency of traders such as ATMs in exchange for a percentage and false tax declarations.
