On Saturday, March 1, 2025, the A21 platform – a child allowance for submitting applications opens, as announced by the Ministry of Social Cohesion and Family, with the Supervised Bid and Social Solidarity Organization (OPECA).

The platform will remain open and will receive new applications until March 14th at 18:00.

Beneficiaries of the child allowance may submit their application to the HIDA platform, www.idika.gr or through the website, www.opeka.gr using personal passwords to Taxisnet.

The eligible amount will be calculated on the basis of the dependent children stated in the A21 application of 2025 and the total family income that the beneficiaries had in the tax year 2023.

Following the submission of this year’s income tax return, the income of the tax year 2024 will be taken into account for the calculation of the eligible amount.

It should be noted that among the conditions checked for the child allowance are: the attendance of dependent children in compulsory education – from pre -toddler to high school – as well as the adequacy of attendance.

In the A21 application must be registered in the relevant fields:
• The details of the school unit,
• The class and registry number of the child attending compulsory education.

If all the details of the student are crossed, the application may proceed normally. If they do not cross, there is a note and the applicant is required to attach the necessary supporting documents to the A21 electronic application.

To complete the application must be submitted permanently and have been approved.

Application that has been temporarily stored shall be considered non -submitted and not taken into account.
