Complex Industrial Crisis Areas: CIGS and Derogatory Mobility Extended into 2026
INPS
INPS has issued operational instructions for the continuation, into 2026, of the support measures available to workers and employers operating in areas of complex industrial crisis. The refinancing allows for the continuation of extraordinary instruments already deployed in previous years to accompany processes of employment recovery and the management of corporate difficulties.
The new guidance concerns both extraordinary wage integration treatments (CIGS, Cassa Integrazione Guadagni Straordinaria) and derogatory mobility, financed through an overall allocation of 100 million euros for 2026. One of the principal innovations consists in the centralised management of resources, which will no longer be distributed in advance among individual Regions. Authorisations will therefore depend on the availability of the overall fund and will follow the chronological order of requests.
For derogatory mobility, the activities of identifying beneficiaries and implementing active employment policies remain the responsibility of the Regions. For extraordinary CIGS, the possibility of granting interventions of up to twelve months beyond the ordinary duration limits is confirmed, for the benefit of companies that are no longer able to access further ordinary instruments.
