Social security and pensions
agency INPS said Monday that 960,007 applications for the
'citizenship wage' basic income had been granted up to September
4.
The 'citizenship wage', the flagship policy of the 5-Star
Movement (M5S), was passed by the first government headed by
Premier Giuseppe Conte.
The M5S formed a new alliance with the centre-left Democratic
Party (PD) for a new Conte government after League leader Matteo
Salvini pulled the plug on the M5S-League administration last
month.
INPS said it has had 1,460,463 claims for the basic income so
far.
It said 409,644 had been rejected and 90.812 were still being
processed.
It said the average amount granted was 481 euros a month.
It said 21% of recipients got under 200 euros a month while
4% got over 1,000.
