The payment time has come: from today after noon, the August pensions will be available in the bank accounts for the first batch of beneficiaries. Until the middle of next week, all the disabled of the work will have received the money that is attributable to their hands, and the aid will be paid to the beneficiaries of OPECA benefits. The first to go … Pensioners, but also those who receive auxiliary pensions from the private sector.

The money will be credited to their bank accounts after noon and in the afternoon, depending on the banking institution. The rest of the work will be able to “card” their money on Tuesday.

All pension payments dates

Specifically, on a … date of “Gise”, the beginning takes place on Monday, July 28, 2025, with the pensions of the OAEE, OGA and EBRD.

On the same day, the main pensions awarded by the establishment of EFKA onwards, with Law 4387/2016, through the IIS EFKA (retired employees & non-employees from 1/1/2017 onwards), are also paid.

Payments will also be made for private sector pensions (self -employed and employees).

These amounts will be credited to the bank accounts of the beneficiaries – as mentioned above – a business day before, ie today Friday 25th of the month and will be able to withdraw those who have a card.

Two days later-again on the date of “counter”-and specifically on Wednesday, July 30, 2025, the main pensions of Augustus of IKA-ETAM, OTE, PPC, TSEPSSO, TSP-SISAP, NAT, ETAT and ETAP-MME are paid. Payments on the 30th of the month will also be made for retired banks, as well as for the main and auxiliary pensions of the State.

These amounts will be credited to the bank accounts of the beneficiaries one business day earlier, ie on the afternoon of Tuesday, July 29, when they are available for those who have a debit card.

When will OPECA benefits be paid

OPECA will pay the pensions of uninsured elderly and the 3rd installment of the popular A21 child allowance on Thursday, July 31. These amounts will be credited on the afternoon of Wednesday 30th of the month.

On the same date, all the other benefits of the Agency, namely the welfare- wheelchair, the birth allowance, the rent allowance, but also the minimum guaranteed income and more will be paid.

It should be noted that in particular with regard to the A21 Children Allowance, OPECA Services after the submission of the tax return (E1) on 2024 incomes have recalculated.

Depending on the family income stated, the amount of the aid is determined: those who have declared higher earnings than the previous year are very likely to see the allowance to be “clipped” even if they have exceeded if they have exceeded the income ceiling.

Thus, after recalculating those who had “inflated” earnings in 2024 compared to the previous year, they may be required to refund the amounts of the child allowance they have received as first and second installments.

There are, of course, those who will receive retroactively: If initially with the first two doses this year, a smaller amount was granted and with the re -account there is a right to greater (due to shrinking income), the amount of the dispute is paid retroactively.

Those who submitted applications will also receive retroactively after payment this year and the two -year -olds before the payment of July 31. This category of beneficiaries will receive “gathering” all three installments of the A21 children allowance.
