The electronic application for receiving an auxiliary pension due to old age was put into operation on the e-EFKA website, which abolishes the obligation of the insured to visit the e-EFKA branches 2 to 3 times to submit the necessary supporting documents.

The online application concerns thousands of insured persons. Indicatively, during the previous year, the total number of applications for the issuance of supplementary pensions due to old age submitted to the branches exceeded 70,000.
