The National Institute of Social Security (INPS) has summarised the provisions of the D.L. n. 92/2025 law, which aims to strengthen social security buffers and provide support for income.
The main novelties of the law include:
– Exemption of contributions for areas of industrial crisis: Businesses operating in areas of complex industrial crisis are exempted from paying the additional contribution for Extraordinary Integration Fund (CIGS) for all of 2025, allocating 6.5 million euros.
– Support for large industrial groups: Large business groups with at least 1,000 employees can access another period of CIGS until December 31, 2027, with the possibility of reducing hours by 100%. The resources allocated for 2025 are 30.7 million euros, 31.3 million for 2026 and 32 million for 2027.
– Measures for company sales: Additional wages are provided for businesses with solid prospects of sale and occupational reabsorption, with a spending limit of 20 million euros.
– Extension of aid in the fashion industry: The supply chain benefits from a 12-week extension for wage integration, usable from February 1 to December 31, 2025.
– Protections for climate emergencies: This is a significant novelty in the construction, stone and extraction sectors that now have access to Ordinary Income supplements due to extreme atmospheric events.
Additionally, agricultural workers benefit from an extension of CISOA for seasonal inclement weather, with facilitated access for fixed-term workers and the possibility of reducing hours.
Regarding additional funds, the decree mobilises annual funds of 8.7 million for 2025-2026 for seized or confiscated companies, 10.5 million for emergency CIGO, and 22.5 million for the CISOA.
Overall, these measures aim to mitigate the financial challenges facing businesses and their workers in times of industrial and environmental crisis.
