Opened today, March 30, 2022, the electronic platform A21-Child Allowanceto apply those beneficiaries did not submit it until March 11, 2022, when the platform was closed.
According to an announcement of the Organization for Welfare Benefits and Social Solidarity (OPEC), the beneficiaries of the allowance will be able to submit the application on the platform of IDIKA (idika.gr) or through the website opeka.gr, using personal passwords of the beneficiary in TAXISnet.
OPEC clarifies that for closure of the electronic platformas well as for its additional administration emergency aid to beneficiaries, there will be a newer announcement.
The eligible amount will be calculated, based on the dependent children, to be declared in the A21 of 2022 and the total family income that the beneficiaries had in the tax year 2021.
Until the submission of the income tax return of the current year, the incomes of the tax year 2020 will be taken into account for the calculation of the entitled amount.
The electronic application platform A21 allows, through extensive electronic intersections with available databases of other bodies and services, the control of the accuracy and correctness of the declared data and information at the application stage.
To be eligible for the allowance, the application must be final and approved. An application temporarily saved is considered unsubmitted and will not be considered.
Four useful questions and answers for the application
At the same time, OPEC, wanting to facilitate the citizens in the process of completing their application correctly, lists four basic questions and answers, which are the following:
Q: In the pre-filled application A21 my child appears without a name (female or male) and the platform does not allow me to add the name. What should I do;
A: In case the child’s name has already been registered in the AMKA you must cancel the A21 application and submit final news. If the child still appears without a name after the cancellation of the application, you must go to the KEP and state your child’s name in the AMKA. Then cancel the A21 application again and submit final news.
Q: Protected members are not recognized, because the children’s surnames are not identified with their AMKA. What should I do;
A: We draw your attention to the fact that, when a child is added, only the surname of the child (not his name) and his AMKA are registered. If the identification problem persists, the beneficiaries must check the complete details of the dependent child in the electronic application of AMKA (www.amka.gr) and / or contact a KEP, in order to correct any failures in the electronic register of AMKA. Probably the surname next to the AMKA has been written in a different way on the platform, in relation to how it has been registered in the AMKA register. Subsequently, the A21 application must be canceled and a new application must be submitted permanently, in order to retrieve the corrected data from the AMKA register.
Q: The application asks for a child’s VAT number, while it does not allow me to enter it and refers me to the KEP. What should I do;
A: For children born in 2004 and later, VAT is not required. However, for children born in 2003 and before, VAT is mandatory. If this VAT number has not been registered in the AMKA register, then the citizens are referred to KEP, to update the AMKA register with the corresponding VAT number, as the AMKA register cannot be updated through the A21 application. Subsequently, the saved application A21 must be canceled and final new ones submitted, in order to retrieve the corrected data from the AMKA register. In case you know that the child’s VAT number has already been registered in the AMKA, simply cancel the A21 application and submit final news.
Q: While my child’s VAT number has been registered in the AMKA register as of today, the application can not even be submitted and is mentioned in the system as an indication. Do I have to do anything else?
A: The update of AMKA with the AFM is immediate. Cancel the application and submit a new one, so that the TIN can be re-obtained from your child’s AMKA “.
