All the fast track plan for the pending supplementary pensions

By Dimitris Katsaganis

The 98,000 pending applications for supplementary pensions (with a total cost of 170 million euros) will be issued under fast track procedures from next autumn, immediately after the overdue pending main pensions are zeroed out.

According to information from Capital.gr, this plan has two axes. The first axis concerns the actual process of issuing the pending supplementary pensions, while the second concerns the timetable for issuing them per fund.

In more detail, responsible officials of e-EFKA reported to Capital.gr that only the cancellation of the pending main pensions is a promoting factor for the issuance of the pending auxiliary pensions, as the issuance of the final main pension of an insured person is an inviolable condition for the issuance of the final their supplementary pension. Furthermore, e-EFKA will proceed with other moves to issue supplementary pensions more quickly, such as the transfer of approximately 300 advisers from the main pension sector to the supplementary pension sector, as well as the provision of the possibility of issuing supplementary pensions to certified accountants and lawyers.

In addition to these, the e-EFKA (just as it applies in the case of fastr track main pensions and “trust” main pensions):

1. It will issue, for applications submitted after March 31, 2022, an act of awarding a main pension (or reject the relevant application if the conditions for awarding it are not met), within a period of three months. During this period, the EFKA services should check the insurance history of the applicant and decide whether he is entitled to a pension and how much.

After the expiration of this period, the acts of awarding the pension are issued according to the data of the insurance history recorded in the “ATLAS” Information System (or other information systems available to EFKA) and the declarations and information submitted by the insured together with with their pension application to document that they have more insurance time than is recognized in the electronic system.

Especially for applications that have been submitted until March 31, 2022 – and are pending until the entry into force of the provision – the act of awarding a pension is issued on the basis of the data recorded in the e-EFKA information systems and the declarations of the insured for the writing time recognition in addition to that obtained from the aforementioned systems. In this case, the statements are accepted without requiring the presentation of documents documenting them.

2. Priority will be given to issuing supplementary pensions to the following funds:

– First of all he will “run” the pensions of the auxiliary funds in the branches of metals and other old funds, so that they are issued by the end of

-Then, he will start issuing the supplementary pensions of the former IKA, which is expected to be completed at the beginning of 2023.

– Finally (after the beginning of 2023) the liquidation of the outstanding supplementary pensions of the State will “run”.
