Overview
- The government is considering suspending the planned three‑month rise only for people who will be 64 in 2027, limiting the number of beneficiaries.
- The state accounting office has proposed an alternative that would raise the age by just one month in 2027, with a possible mobile window also under review.
- The idea does not appear in the Documento programmatico di finanza pubblica and will be hashed out in the upcoming budget process.
- Technical officials warn that stopping the life‑expectancy adjustment without changing transformation coefficients would cut pension amounts by about 9%.
- Opposition parties, including Idv and the Five Star Movement, have criticized the approach as falling short of pledges to roll back the Fornero reform.
