INTERNATIONAL SOCIAL SECURITY INFORMATION DAYS
“Uniting Europe at the grass roots”
Twenty-five years ago, the Istituto Nazionale della Previdenza Sociale (INPS) of Italy, in collaboration with the Deutsche Rentenversicherung (DRV) of Germany , the Schweizerische Ausgleichskasse (SAK) of Switzerland and the Pension Versicherungsanstalt of Austria, established a service, through which, each year, information about contributions and pension rights is delivered to relevant migrant workers upon personal invitation.
This service, called “International social security information days”, consists of experts from the involved Institutions who deliver their expertise to migrants directly at the premises of the other country institutions. The workers who have paid contributions in one or more of the foreign Institutions receive clear information about their contribution records, which enable them to make future pension choices.
Thanks to this initiative, the repatriated migrant workers are able to receive information regarding their contribution paid in a foreign country directly through their relevant foreign institution. Thus, by example, Italian citizens living and working abroad can directly access INPS experts in the country where they are residing,
During the last 25 years, 63,834 individuals have received social security advice during 718 days. Since 1995 the consulting number has increased steadily, thereby confirming the positive appreciation of the initiative by the migrant workers, thus encouraging INPS to go further.
The “International social security information days” deliver a service which can be considered the “best practice” at the European level and a way of unifying Europeans at the grass roots level by effectively shortening the distance between migrant workers and the various foreign institutions which they have to deal with.

The first important lesson learned by this initiative is that the European coordination regulations widely protect the free movement of workers. This initiative unifies Europeans at the grass roots level by effectively shortening the distance between migrant workers and the various foreign institutions which they have to deal with.
The organizational machine of the International Social Security Information Days is already on the move for the planning and organization of appointments for 2020. Future projects are oriented towards an ever closer collaboration between social security institutions in the interests of the migrant workers so that, thanks to the greater dissemination of information and institutional support, they can obtain information about their current social security status as soon as possible and gain access, if the right arises, to available social security benefits.
INPS strongly believes in continuing to deliver this service to its migrant workers, by reaching out them anywhere they live either in Italy or abroad.
