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

So either way they’re not going to get it? Fight back before it’s too late.
Well given that FBI lackey McCabe got his pension back, I guess it will not happen here.
It’s the media, it’s what they do.
At least the Italians recognize natural recovery.
“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.”
Question -
You would be paid back ONLY the total amounts withheld?
Would your monthly benefit then be reduced to that amount set at the date you started collecting?
That’s horseshit. Setting requirements for pensions after the fact is illegal. If it wasn’t part of the process to file for the pension in the first place, they shouldn’t be allowed to make it a requirement at any point afterwards. I’ve been retired, and receiving a pension since 2003. If New York State suddenly required me to get the jabs, I’d be heading down to Albany right quick, to pick a few of those Democrat bastards off, and that c*nt of a Governor.
That's what my youngest son said about vaccine mandates.
“It’ll never happen here...”

Funny how Progressives haven’t asked for that here.
Also funny how you have to show your ID to get govt assistance.

” I’m 2 years away from full SS benefits.”
I took it at 62. Get it while you can!
Let's say your FRA is 67 but you filed at 62 and your monthly benefit was $1,000/mo (to use a round number). However, you worked during that time and over the five years you had $36,000 withheld over that period of time (to use another round number).
At age 67, the SSA would take that $36,000 of withheld benefits into account (three years of benefits) and start paying you as though you started collecting benefits at 65 (three years) instead of at 62.
Which would be $1,259/mo instead of the $1,000/mo you were eligible for at 62 (8% increase per year by waiting).
So in practice, you would recover that withheld money back over the next 139 months (about 11.5 years).
All of the above is not factoring in COLA but hopefully that explains the basic methodology.
Are folks beginning to see (and understand) that the biblical concept of a Tribulation period where the no one will be able to buy or sell without receiving the ‘mark of the beast’ is becoming entirely feasible? Biblical truth is fast moving from the realm of conspiracy theory/religious fanaticism to that of very likely feasible . . . and there are a lot of folks not ready for it.
Escape the coming terror by understanding that Jesus Christ is the ONLY way, the ONLY truth and the ONLY way, and that no man may come to God except through Him. Place your faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ on the Cross and I guarantee you by the word of the living God that you will NOT BE HERE when this comes down.
“Except ye repent, ye must also likewise perish” (Luke 13:3, 5).
famous last words
The recovery time is why I took mine starting the day I retired. I was 64 and couple months at that time. I got laid off, retired and started my SS all at the same time. Yeah, but where is it all now? LOL! With no guarantee of how long I’d be drawing my SS...............Take it when you can, if you can. Some folks don’t make 67. Just sayin’.
Extortion.
Amen!
“To explain it simply (as the SSA jargon can overcomplicate everything), it goes something like this:”
...I make 100k+ and I’m 63 and 7 months. If I file now, will they take every penny of my SS benefits until I’m FRA? Or do they take a portion?
And so it continues. Can’t make this up, can predict it
If you made $100,000 even, that would leave $80,440 so up to $40,220 of your benefit would be deducted. So if your benefit is $3,352/mo or less, you would end up with zero. I'm suspecting if you file early, your benefit will be less than that.
You say you make $100k+ so almost certainly you will end up with zero. When you do hit FRA, the SSA will recalculate your benefits accordingly but you are probably better off waiting to file.
I'm in the same boat as you and I'm just going to hang in there until my FRA - or unless for some reason or other, I decide to quit my job and retire early.
I thought about retiring early last year.
I knew I would make less from Social Security, and I calculated the breakeven point to be 12 years out.
But after three months I was bored as heck and went back to work. I write software and I get to Work from Home, so it’s been a good year for me.
