Good Morning,

My husband has finished work due to being forced out of the job, as we have a one year old is it true we are not entitled to anything from the government ?

Looking forward to replies

Kenny and Moe

Are you Italians or Brits. Are you residents?

Have a look at these links all from Ministero del lavoro

INDENNITA' DI MOBILITA' if your husband was employed for at least 12 months

Two years ago the firm my son had been working for went bust. He had worked there for 7 years. He got 650euro for 5 months and some money from the firm for his "liquidation". After that, nothing.I had to cash in an insurance policy to keep him in his flat and he still ran up some debts at the bank and car payments.Now he has another job but with slightly less pay and he's trying to pay off some debts. I still have to help him with the rent with money from my pension.This is the reality of living here;no rent paid, no job seekers allowance etc.I tried to explain this to my family in England and they said "How is he expected to live?" Welcome to the real world!

Sorry, the 650euro a month came from Imps as he had paid his contributions.

HI, my son,s fine as he has another job now but I just wanted to explain how things work here, and not just in Naples.We have one of the lowest birthrates in Europe and very few young unmarried mothers.We also have one of the highest abortion rates ( wonder why? the two things can,t possibly be connected can they?)Having said that, my son is going to make me a grandmother for the 4th time, sometime in November.Naples has just cooled down after one of the hottest months of August I can remember.i think it's the same for the wholke of Italy.At the moment it's the festa of Piedigrotta and we even have Elton John singing here next week which, withe all the road works, will make the traffic HELL.Hope you are enjoying your new posting.

Very sorry to hear about you situation harley. The goverment offers very little here. You can apply for some discounts e.g. rubbish and you can get free health care but to do this here in Veneto you need an ISEE which is available from trade union offices and is in theory, free but some regions still accept l'autocertificazione. Goodluck.

Thank you for that, will keep the search on for jobs.
