More controls and stakes. The maneuver confirms the tightening of citizenship income, with the aim on the one hand of stemming abuses and irregularities, and on the other of tying it more effectively to employment and social inclusion. Thus, if those who receive the Income, having the opportunity to work (among the so-called employable subjects), refuse a suitable job offer, they will see a monthly decalage triggered. After the second refusal, the benefit will be revoked. The novelty was confirmed in the meeting at Palazzo Chigi of Prime Minister Mario Draghi with the ministers of Labor, Andrea Orlando, of agricultural policies, Stefano Patuanelli, and of the PA, Renato Brunetta. The cut of the check will therefore be linked to the yes or no with respect to the job offer and will not be automatic.But before proceeding, a verification mechanism will also come into play to ascertain that the beneficiary has actually received and in the case refused the job offer, as well as mechanisms to facilitate the matching between supply and demand.

The changes will start with the Budget Law, which refinances the Income with a billion a year, but in view of a possible next more structural revision of the measure, ten proposals arrive, written in black and white in the first Report of the Scientific Committee for assessment of citizenship income, born last March at the Ministry of Labor, provided for by the law establishing the income. Proposals presented by the president of the commission, Chiara Saraceno, together with the Minister of Labor. "A base from which the Parliament can start for reflection and for further integrations", Orlando explains, hoping that the center-left will share the structure. The assumption is that the Citizenship Income is an indispensable tool as a tool to combat poverty,which, however, presents some critical issues, to be corrected. Among the ten proposals are minors and foreigners, on which access requirements are asked to be reviewed.

According to the group of experts, today large families are more penalized than singles and small families: for this reason it asks to review the so-called equivalence scale, which is used to determine access to the Rdc and the amount, and to equalize minors. to adults, in order to raise the check. Also on this front, we ask to reduce the starting threshold for the families of a person from 6,000 to 5,400 euros and to differentiate the contribution for the rent based on the size of the nucleus, thus lowering it for singles and increasing it based on number of components. For foreigners, the proposal is to reduce the period of residence in Italy necessary to receive the Citizenship Income from 10 to 5 years: a "reasonable and in line with the EU" compromiseand that it would cost 300 million to include another 68,000 families, explains Saraceno. And then, but last but not least, there is the question of work: today it is not convenient for an employee of the Rdc to "work", writes the Scientific Committee, arguing that for the calculation of the amount of the Rdc, the income from work should be considered for 60% and not 80%. And always on the work front, in order for a proposal to be adequate and therefore not refusable from a temporal point of view, it should be defined that the contract exceeds one month and no longer three months "to encourage people who are often very distant from the labor market to enter and gain experience" .writes the Scientific Committee arguing that for the calculation of the amount of the Rdc the income from work should be considered for 60% and not 80%.

With the maneuver, ex ante checks on residence and property requirements are intensified.

"For us it is perfectly fine to increase them", we need to make the Employment Centers work, says Saraceno.

A game to play, which also sees the resources of the PNRR and the role of the Regions on the field.

"Finally - says Orlando - all have presented a plan to strengthen the employment centers, but the percentage of expenditure is still very low" and must be definitely raised to relaunch active policies.
