Renzi out to extend,double pension bonus

(ANSA) - Rome, September 27 - Premier Matteo Renzi has said his government wants to double the bonus low-earning State pensioners get and extend it to all those on 1,000 euros a month or less.
    "Those on pensions of up to 750 euros are given a so-called 14th payment, which is about 40 euros," Renzi said.
    "We are trying to lift this threshold. Our aim would be lift it as much as possible to pensions of 1,000 euros.
    "Let's see if we can do it. We'll also double the 14th payment payment so they have 80 euros in a single installment, instead of 40".
