The Minister of Labor, Kostis Hatzidakis, and the Deputy Minister of Social Security, Panos Tsakloglou, proceeded today with the presentation of eight basic new insurance regulations.
These are:
1. Ten-year statute of limitations for debts to e-EFKA
We comply with a decision of the Council of Ministers and go to the 10-year statute of limitations for all former funds. This arrangement covers only those who do not have confirmed debts to the former OAEE (that is, they have not been informed by him), but not all of those who owe EFKA, pointed out the Minister of Labour, Mr. Kostis Hatzidakis.
From 1/1/2027, the limitation period is reduced to 5 years.
2. Increase in the number of installments of permanent settlement of insurance debts in the e-EFKA.
We are proceeding with the harmonization of EFKA doses with the corresponding doses in AADE. So from 12 installments we go to 24 installments, noted Mr. Hatzidakis.
3. Abolition of the special contribution of insured persons of the former Civil Servants Welfare Fund.
The fund is now sustainable and there is no reason to continue the special levy, Mr. Tsakloglou said.
4. Extension of the right to “combat five years” to all enlisted men.
5. Suspension of the criminal prosecution of debtors of settled insurance debts of those serving the settlement.
6. Ceiling on provocatively high supplementary pensions.
The ceiling comes in at 1,382.4 euros (equal to 6/20 of the ceiling of the main pension).
7. Unification of disability pension rules.
Reduction of the disability rate from 67% to 50% for certain groups of insured persons as a condition for receiving disability benefits. The main beneficiaries will be the old (before 1993) OAEE, NAT, OGA insured persons.
8. Cessation of seeking outstanding debts to OPECA from citizens who received benefits in good faith, without being entitled to them.
