Overview
- The leading option would halt the three‑month increase only for people who will have turned 64 in 2027, leaving younger workers to face the extra wait even with long contribution histories.
- Preliminary costing cited by recent reports points to about €1.5 billion in the first year and roughly €2 billion at regime for the selective freeze, compared with more than €3 billion for a universal pause.
- Roughly 170,000 workers who meet contribution requirements but fall below the age threshold would be excluded under the current hypothesis.
- Alternatives under review include limiting the 2027 rise to one month or introducing a mobile waiting window, with the state accounting office warning that canceling life‑expectancy adjustments without changing transformation coefficients could cut pensions by about 9%.
- The measure is not in the Dpfp and remains unannounced, with a majority meeting at Palazzo Chigi and parliamentary budget hearings set to shape the proposal ahead of the Manovra.
