Italian retirees could be forced to present their coronavirus health pass in order to access their pensions in person as the government makes the Green Pass mandatory for banks and post offices.
Staring on February 1st, Italians wishing to access banks or post offices in person will be required to present the Green Pass, which is granted by the government to those who produce a negative test result for the coronavirus, those fully vaccinated, or those who have recovered from it.
The new rules will mean that any pensioners who collect their cheques in person at the post office or local bank will have to present the Green Pass, Il Giornale reports.
Banks and post offices are now considered “non-essential” under the new restrictive Green Pass rules, along with tobacconists. Smokers without the Green Pass will be forced to buy cigarettes from vending machines, rather than tobacco shops.
According to Il Giornale, just nine types of shops are now considered essential and exempt from the Green Pass, such as supermarkets and grocers, pharmacies, optometrists, petrol stations, pet shops, and a select few others. It will also be possible to enter police stations and judicial offices to file complaints and reports.
While England prepares to soften lockdown, Italy goes the other way, once again extending vax pass rules https://t.co/QsAIEPmxld

This’ll suck. I’m 2 years away from full SS benefits.
It’ll never happen here...
Direct deposit. Take it as soon as you are eligible. If your full benefit it two years away, take it now.
Who didn’t see THAT coming?
Yeah. The headline mildly lies. Way to get people to read the article.
I don’t like it when the article proves the headline wrong.
“The bigger the government the smaller the citizen.”
“A government big enough to give you everything you want, is a government big enough to take away everything that you have.”
I’m still working. Taking it now, they’d take $1 for every $2 I make leaving me with 0.
You toss the dice and take your chances. LOL! You’ve been around FR long enough to know. :-}
Insanity
It’s clickbait. Just use direct deposit.
True. However the money withheld during the ages 62-67 (assuming your FRA age is 67) would start getting paid back to you at FRA. So you would end up with a higher monthly payment at FRA.
Still, it might still make sense to wait until FRA depending on your situation. Or even wait until 70 if you feel lucky (that you will live a long life) as your benefit will increase 8% a year between 67 and 70.
Perhaps I dont want Il Presidente to have my banking info...
*** It’ll never happen here... ***
I am sorry to say but that is wishful thinking, something I am guilty of. They are just ahead of the curve.
I very much appreciate that information! Thank you!
WOW.
Keep telling yourself that.🙄
Well the headline does use the word “could” so there is that. :-}
You already lost that fight with the income tax.
Does anyone remember what happened to Mussolini?
