92.63% pending pension applications from 2016 until the end of June 2022 was cleared EFKAand over the past six months, a record was set for the release of new masters. pensions.

Map with speeches from 12 Regional Coordination and Support Services (RCSS) that “K” represents today applies to applications for basic pensions, except for inflexible and international ones, and applications for Main Accounting.

And this is a testament to the serious work done, so that, for example, PYSY in Attica, which is also one of the most responsible services, shows a performance of 89.65%. In practice, this means that out of 188,959 applications submitted since the start of the EFKA until the end of June 2022, 169,413 have already been verified. This also shows, as the Minister of Labor also noted. Kostis Hatzidakisthat the key goal of completely eliminating overdue basic pensions by the end of the summer is “closer every day”.

PYSY of the South Aegean proves to be the champion in new pensions with a percentage of completed pension requests of about 95.8%. Of course, the amount of work that PYSY employees are asked to do is not the same as in South Aegean, for example, during the period under review (6.5 years), 9,209 applications were submitted and 8,822 pensions have already been issued. . In PYSY Central Macedonia, with a total of 149,051 claims, the percentage of paid pensions is 95.43%, since 142,237 new pensions have already been issued, while PYSY Central Greece also has a very good performance with 95.02% ( 33 957). ) requests processed (35,735).

Of course, as long as there are pensioners waiting for their pension, even if only 3-4 years in complex cases of successive insurance, as well as in cases of international applications, it goes without saying that there can be no complacency. For this reason, in fact, since July, the EFKA administration, in cooperation with the project group on unfinished pensions, has put pressure on both state pensions (GLK) and international ones, and the first results have been positive. At the same time, according to the leaders of FECA, continuous information is being provided to the insured, receiving pensions, with the proviso that, due to the automated process, the control of the amounts issued to them will be carried out within three months at the latest, so there is no need to object. And then, of course, from the beginning of September, the turn comes additional pensions as well as oncethe number of overdue debts reached 100,500 (95,000 overdue auxiliary and 5,500 non-recurring).

In Attica, out of 188,959 applications submitted since 2016, 169,413 applications have been approved by the end of June 2022.

Debt Reduction

The record issuance of pensions in the first half of 2022, when EFKA paid pensioners 15,000 more pensions than was issued in the whole of 2019 (123,324 pension decisions were issued in total), also led to a significant de-escalation EFKA’s arrears to pensioners .

In particular, overdue debts in June 2020 they amounted to 705 million euros, and in June 2022 – 78 million euros (89% decrease). The corresponding reduction compared to June 2021 is approximately 80%. According to FECA representatives, such a rapid reduction in arrears to pending pensioners is due to the massive liquidation of arrears, accompanied by the payment of the corresponding payments retroactively. Of course, it should be noted that health care and income tax contributions have been deducted, and as of 6/2022, potential pensioners’ debts to e-EFKA have been included and deducted.

In fact, due to debts that have apparently built up in recent years, it is significant that in pension applications that have not yet become past due, EFKA’s debts to pending pensioners are less than the debts that pending pensioners have. in favor of EFKA for about 22.5 million euros.
