The government will increase the scope of pension cases undertaken by certified accountants and lawyers.
As the Ministry of Labor stated yesterday, in its announcement, “in the near future it is expected the expansion of the categories of pensions that the certified will be able to undertake”.
According to what e-EFKA executives reported in Capital.grthe cases that will be gradually undertaken by individuals are the following:
– parallel insurance (ie those who had, for example, IKA insurance and at the same time OAEE, etc.)
– supplementary insurance
In fact, the same executives state that in order to expand the fields of activity of individuals, a new provision will not need to be passed in Parliament, but the existing institutional framework is sufficient.
However, in order for certified self-employed lawyers and accountants to take on the above, additional cases (parallel insurance, auxiliary and OGA), they will have to go through a certain training. In any case, the extension of their duties should be expected from September.
At the same time, according to an announcement issued yesterday by the Ministry of Labor, six out of 10 citizens would entrust the issuance of their pension to certified accountants and lawyers of EFKA, according to a survey.
At the same time, the findings of the research show that for the first time in similar surveys, the positive opinions on the progress in the outstanding pensions and on the general service of the citizen by EFKA are more than the negative ones, which proves the significant progress that has been made. the last 12 months in both of these fields (zeroing of outstanding pensions of old years, operation of 1555, digitization of procedures, new electronic services, etc.).
Analytically, based on the research, 60% of the respondents would choose to use certified professionals for the issuance of their own pension. In fact, 62% of the total sample and 65% of those who have an insurance relationship with EFKA believe that this institution is moving in the right direction.
More than 1,500 pension cases have already been taken over by the certified, while the first pensions awarded were issued in less than 90 days.
