Suspension of conditionality requirements for income support measures
Sospensione delle misure di condizionalità per l'attribuzione di alcune prestazioni di sostegno al reddito
Background information
In order to limit the movement of people throughout the national territory during the COVID-19 crisis, the Law Decree No. 18 of 17 March 2020 (art. 40) suspended the conditionality requirements connected to the reception of the citizenship income and of other income support instruments (for instance NASPI and DISCOLL) for two months.
Content of measure
The conditionality requirements connected with the reception of various income support measures generally addressed unemployed and people seeking for a job (citizenship income, NASPI and DISCOLL) were suspended by Law Decree No. 18 of 17 March 2020. Hence, recipients of these income support measures will continue to receive the benefits without being obliged to participate to the definition of an Employment Pact, to carry out active job search or to accept suitable job offers. This measure was introduced in order to limit the movement of people on the national territory.
Law Decree No. 34 of 19 May 2020 (art. 79) further extended the suspension for another two months.

Views and reactions
Trade unions were supportive of the measure.
