Read DM 23/02/2022

With the Rector’s Decree n. 1297 of 12/04/2022, the personal pre-tax annual income limit for scholarship student was modified.

The new limit is:

• From December 14th, 2021, the personal taxable annual income limit for scholarship student is € 15.343,28;
• From July 1st, 2022, the personal taxable annual income limit for scholarship student is  € 16.243,00.

The 2022 Budget Law amended Article 15 of Legislative Decree No. 22 of March 4, 2015, concerning DIS-COLL, through the introduction of paragraph 15-quinquies. This amendment establishes a revised start date for the reduction mechanism (so-called décalage) of the benefit, an extension of the duration and a different calculation method, the recognition of notional contributions for periods of benefit receipt, and the obligation for certain categories of workers registered in the Separate Management scheme to pay a contribution rate for unemployment benefits equivalent to that required for the NASpI benefit.

As a result of this integration, a new contribution rate applies to all contracts active as of January 1, 2022. Starting from this date, all research fellows and scholarship-holding PhD students are required to pay a contribution rate equal to that due for the NASpI unemployment benefit.

The University annually determines the amount of the operating contribution, including the 10% increase designed by Ministerial Decree 226/2021 as a budget for research activities in Italy and abroad for PhD students enrolled in the first, second, and third year. These funds are allocated to PhD programs to support activities essential for their effective operation.

The main expenditure categories include:

• General operating funds
• 10% budget for research activities as stipulated in Article 9, paragraph 4, of Ministerial Decree 226/2021
