Why do you need to inform INPS about your travels?
While you are on sick leave, INPS provides you with certain benefits to help you financially during your recovery period. However, it is important to note that these benefits are contingent upon your compliance with the regulations set out by INPS. One of these regulations requires you to inform INPS if you plan on traveling while on sick leave.
How do you inform INPS about your travels?
Informing INPS about your travels is a relatively simple process. Follow these steps to ensure compliance:
- Contact your attending physician or specialist and discuss your travel plans with them. Make sure they are aware of your intentions and ask for any necessary documentation or certificates to support your travels.
- Once you have the required documentation, download the appropriate form from the INPS website or visit your local INPS office to obtain a hardcopy.
- Fill out the form with accurate and detailed information about your travels, including the dates, destinations, and purpose of your trip.
- Attach any supporting documentation provided by your attending physician or specialist.
- Submit the completed form and supporting documentation to INPS via mail or deliver it directly to your local INPS office.
What should you do if your travels change while on sick leave?
If your travel plans change after you have already informed INPS, it is vital to update them about these changes. Failure to do so may result in complications with your benefits or potential penalties. To update INPS:
- Contact your attending physician or specialist and inform them of the changes in your travel plans.
- Ask for any necessary updated documentation or certificates.
- Download the change of travel form from the INPS website or obtain a hardcopy from your local INPS office.
- Fill out the form with accurate and detailed information about the changes to your travels.
- Attach any supporting documentation provided by your attending physician or specialist.
- Send the updated form and supporting documentation to INPS through the same methods mentioned earlier.
While on sick leave, it is crucial to understand and adhere to the rules set by INPS to receive the benefits and support you are entitled to.
