The ‘spelling»Who excluded from the annual allowance of 250 euros those who receive disability pension and is under 65 years of age, the government will reportedly correct. Based on the relevant announcements all the beneficiaries of disability benefits (OPECA, E-EFKA) The new permanent financial support will see in their bank account next November. However, the beneficiaries of a disability pension will not take it if they are under 65 years of age.

Thus, the arrangement setting out the details of the € 250 allowance will include a provision on the basis of which will exclude the 65 -year -old age limit with a disability, but an age limit that will continue to apply to all other retirees.

What will apply to people with disabilities – how will the payment of 250 € will be made

For the beneficiaries of disability pensions, however, the income criterion will be maintained, as is the case for others, however, the assessment of the Ministry of National Economy and Finance is that the vast majority of those receiving disability pensions are below them.

With the intervention of the age limit, all people with disabilities, whether they are beneficiaries of pension or beneficiaries of allowance from OPECA or E-EFKA, will receive EUR 250 in November, regardless of age.

In order to receive the amount of 250 euros, pensioners will not have to submit a request. Will be paid directly to their bank accounts.

It is recalled that, on the basis of the relevant announcements, an annual financial support of EUR 250 is purely for retirees, beneficiaries of disability benefits and uninsured elders.

The financial support will be paid until November 30th of each year, starting in November 2025.

Beneficiaries are:

  • Pensioners over 65 years of age with annual family income up to € 14,000 for unmarried and fortune up to 200,000 euros and annual family income up to € 26,000 for married cohabitation and property up to 300,000 euros. The aid will be given to all retirees covered by income and property criteria, whether or not they have a personal difference.
  • Uninsured elderly beneficiaries of disability benefits paid by OPECA and E-EFKA.

Last “touches” and for “Return Return”

With the arrangement prepared by the Ministry of National Economy and Kyriakos Pierrakakis will also determine all the details for the so -called “Return Return”: based on statements made currently for the tax year 2024, 1/12 of the annual declared rental – both for the main residence and for the main residence.

The maximum refund for the main residence amounts to EUR 800 for € 50 for each dependent child of the tenant. The maximum refund amount for the student residence is 800 euros

The income criteria are expanded and correspond to those set for my home II program:

  • For the single, a maximum income threshold of 20,000 euros is set.
  • For married or part -time cohabitation, a maximum family income threshold of EUR 28,000 is set by EUR 4,000 for each child.
  • For single parent families, a maximum family income threshold of EUR 31,000 is set by € 5,000 for each additional child beyond the first.

Regarding the property criteria for rented rent for a main residence, it is stipulated that the total value of family property, as determined by the calculation of ENFIA this year, may not exceed EUR 120,000 for a single household in 20,000 euros for each additional member of the household.
