K. Hatzidakis: A large volume of pending retirement applications was cleared

The pending applications for main pension until 2018 have been zeroed, as announced by the Minister of Labor and Social Affairs Kostis Hatzidakis, speaking on a show of the TV station SKAI.

As he said, for 2019, the percentage of the main pensions issued until March reaches 97.5% of the total applications, the pending 2020 have been limited to 11% of the total applications until the end of March, while, in in the summer, the outstanding applications for main pension for 2021 will be cleared.

Also, Mr. Hatzidakis noted that, in the context of the effort to clear the pending retirement applications, 30,000 forgotten retirement applications were found.

“In EFKA there was an indescribable situation, which we correct every day” underlined the Minister of Labor, indicating some actions and initiatives of the ministry that were implemented to improve the situation, such as the electronic Control Tower, the supply of new electronics computers, the two new institutions: the “trust pensions” and the fast track pensions, but also the law that was passed for EFKA, which provides for the attraction of executives from the market and, in general, its reorganization, etc.

It is recalled that the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs has already announced that the Share Fund of Civil Servants (MTPY) has succeeded in zeroing the overdue dividends and that the overdue main pensions in NAT have been zeroed.

“All this is the result of new and serious methods” stressed, among others, Mr. Hatzidakis, pointing out that the awarding of the best rapporteurs and directors is planned, based on the data that prove who have issued more pensions. “We want there to be a logic of incentives and controls within EFKA,” said the Minister of Labor.

Regarding the supplementary pensions, Mr. Hatzidakis stated that there has already been a relative de-escalation in the settlement of pending applications and added that with the resolution of the issue of pending pensions the process will “run” much faster.
