INPS delays cost-of-living adjustments for pensioners
What happened
During a hearing of INPS leaders before the budget commissions of the House and Senate on November 12, 2026, INPS announced that cost-of-living adjustments for pensioners will be applied in stages. Pensioners with lower allowances, those up to four times the minimum treatment, will receive the increase in January. The remaining 3.6 million pensioners, whose checks start from 2,447.40 euros gross, must wait until March 2027 due to technical factors.

Why it matters
The announcement impacts the timing of income increases for nearly four million pensioners. The delay is attributed to technical factors, as INPS requires time to implement new payment tables after the final budget law is approved.
