Law 104, "€30,000 fine for anyone who requests it": the law has passed | You have no escape.

It's now been decided that the fine for Law 104 and for those who submitted this request is 30,000 euros. Here's what you need to know.

Those who apply for Law 104 to provide assistance to a disabled family member risk having to pay a very hefty price. This would be the case as a result of new regulations regarding the matter.

The news spread quickly on social media and through specialized news channels, causing considerable chaos among employees who have a family member in a disadvantaged situation.

The new provisions include fines of up to €30,000, a financial measure that worries families.

But what lies behind all this? Understanding the circumstances in which citizens might request such money becomes much more important than one might think.

Misuse of permits: what the state is doing

Institutional sources such as INPS (National Institute of Social Security) and the Guardia di Finanza (Financial Police) are conducting significant investigations into those benefiting from Law 104. The aim is to target those who obtained days of leave under Law 104 but used them for travel, sideline work, personal matters , or, in some cases, pure relaxation. Unfortunately, the data speaks for itself, revealing serious breaches of compliance. Numerous people who requested leave to care for a disabled parent were actually on a cruise or working illegally.

In these specific cases, the penalties are very severe and include: revocation of benefits, recovery of the entire amount received, interest, fines between €25,000 and €30,000, and criminal proceedings for aggravated fraud against the state, as also provided for by Article 640 of the Criminal Code . It seems that recent checks have been relentless.

The truth: sanctions only affect those who abuse Law 104

It should be clarified that taking advantage of Law 104 permits is a sacrosanct right. Potential sanctions apply to those who do not use them properly. Numerous criminal cases have been reported involving people who lie about the need for assistance and possible emergency situations.

No new law that punishes everyone, but simply the enforcement of strict, existing regulations, with the aim of protecting those who truly need the protection measure. With the new controls, there will be no escape for scammers and no sacrifice for their families, who will still be able to enjoy the rights granted by the State.
