e-EFKA: First quarter record in the issuance of new pensions

EFKA recorded a first quarter record in the granting of new pensions, but also a reduction of 65% in the debts to the waiting pensioners, based on the official report “ATLAS” of March “, as mentioned in an announcement of the institution.

Specifically, the issuance of new retirement decisions, in the first quarter of 2022, reached 61,864, recording an increase of 91% compared to 2019 (32,374 decisions), 73% compared to 2020 (35,685 decisions) and 19% compared to last year (52,111 decisions).

At the same time, according to the announcement, “the significant acceleration of the rate of issuance of new pensions contributed to the rapid de-escalation of both the stock of overdue main pensions and the overdue debts to the waiting pensioners.

In particular, overdue main pensions (excluding international and inelastic) were reduced, in March 2022, to 78,173, reduced by 28% compared to March 2021 and by 43% compared to the corresponding month of 2020.

In addition, overdue debts to pending retirees were reduced to € 179.9 million in March 2022, down 65% from 2021 (€ 509.7 million) and 72% from 2020 (637 , EUR 7 million). This significant de-escalation is due to the liquidation, through targeted actions, of all outstanding pensions of old years (before 2019), for which the largest amounts of debts had accumulated. Only a small number of retirement cases are pending that are extremely complex or incomplete.

Finally, it is emphasized that the “ATLAS” report is the most official, up-to-date and reliable tool to capture the full picture of both outstanding main pensions and the completion of new retirement applications published every month by the e-EFKA Studies Directorate. .
