Applications for all pensions from September exclusively electronically

of Dimitris Katsaganis

Applications for all types of pensions will be submitted only through the electronic platform of e-EFKA from next September.

This is reported by his secure information Capital.gr by competent executives of the funds, noting that it will take another three months in order to be able to apply exclusively for supplementary pensions and lump sum of the State. Once this is done, then all the pension benefits of e-EFKA can be applied for by the beneficiaries electronically.

Already, the same sources remind, the applications for main pensions of the private sector (IKA, OAEE, EBRD, OGA) are submitted exclusively electronically, as well as the lump sums of the private sector.

In fact, according to yesterday’s announcement of the Ministry of Labor, from June 1, 2022, only through a special e-platform of e-EFKA will be possible applying for a supplementary private sector pension (IKA, EBRD).

With the inclusion of applications for supplementary pensions of the private sector in the subset of applications that can be submitted only on the e-platforms of EFKA, then this subset will reach 90% of the total.

It will remain, then, emphasize the same sources, 10%, which concerns the applications for supplementary pensions and lump sum of the State.

It should be noted that the possibility – and in fact exclusive – of submitting an electronic application for a one-time pension is a different issue and the digital procedure for awarding a pension through the “Atlas” system is different.

The entire digital pension award process (“Atlas”) is behind the online application process.

According to his reliable sources Capital.gr by competent executives of e-EFKA is the “matter of time” the possibility of digitally granting disability pensions.

Next, the immediate priority is the installation of the appropriate software to “run” the digital awards for parallel pensions (late June – early July, according to the latest information), followed by the digital possibility of awarding parallel insurance pensions, but also pensions private sector employees and the self-employed.
