In a race to clear over the next 50 days, if not all, then a very large part of them pending applications for state insured pensionsits competent services are rendered EFKA, as it turns out that the delays in applications to the State Accounting Department (GLA) are much longer than other funds. Already now, as “K” found out, out of the “hard core” of approximately 61,000 overdue applications for a basic pension (excluding inflexible and international), approximately 40,000 applications are being evaluated and are in the process of immediate liquidation. Of these, about 18,000 relate to applications of civil servants that were submitted to the STC.

According to classified information, the project includes the creation of new additional software in collaboration with General Secretariat of Information Systems, so that pensions from GLK are also issued with a digitized process. It is expected that this, especially in relation to applications for pensions only from the state, i.e. without successive insurance, will lead to a significant reduction in waiting times. At the same time, under the conditions of using the new software, the recognition of fictitious years is automatically searched for in connection with the recognition of military service, and during the next interval it is expected that automatic search will be extended to cases of recognition of fictitious years due to days of maternity, study and unemployed.

At the same time, the plan calls for the creation of a small “task force” of PWC’s senior staff to oversee the project. An additional 50 EFKA employees are expected to be transferred to GLK to help de-escalate the problem, and further automation of the process is also planned in cases of successive insurance, first public and then all individual funds.

The goal is to clear the majority of pending applications within the next 50 days.

The goal is for pensions to be issued within a maximum of 90 days from the date of filing a pension application with the state.

It should be noted that according to the data for June, in all pending cases, overdue and not overdue, the SLC ranks last in terms of performance in terms of issuing unfinished pensions. First comes NAT and then the former IKA.

In particular, out of 14,164 pending cases that accumulated over the period 2016-2022, only 458 remained in the NAT (the remaining 3.23%). In the former IKA, out of 490,128 pending cases, 19,047 (3.89%) remained. The IKA funds contain 839 unpaid pensions (2.40%) out of 34 thousand accumulated. In OGA, out of 206,167 pending cases, 10,423 (5.06%) remained to be processed, in ETAP-MME, out of 2,488 pending cases, 142 pensions remained to be paid (5.71%), in OAEE, out of 193,509 pending cases, 12,958 remained to be processed pensions (6.70%), and finally 4,790 pensions (13.05%) remain in ETAA from a pool of 36,717 pensions. On the other hand, out of 64,799 pending cases in GLK, 19,867 pensions (30.66%) remained to be considered.
