Italian pensioners residing in the U.S are hereby informed that INPS has launched the first phase of the 2026 verification of life campaign, which will take place from March through July 2026. Starting on March 20, 2026, Citibank N.A. will send requests for proof of life to the pension beneficiaries concerned. The completed certifications must be returned to Citibank by July 18, 2026.
Should the certification not be submitted, payment of the August 2026 pension installment, where possible, will be made in cash through Western Union agencies in the country of residence. If the pensioner neither collects the payment in person nor submits the certification by August 19, 2026, pension payments will be suspended starting with the September 2026 installment.
