As for pensioners’ payments, the start has already been made with the first batch of beneficiaries who have already taken their money through ATMs. The “counter” date, however, is today for the payment of the OAEE, OGA and EBRD. Also paid were the main pensions awarded by the establishment of EFKA onwards, by Law 4387/2016, through the IIS-EFKA (retired employees & non-employees from 1/1/2017 onwards).

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

The rest of the pensioners (IKA, Public, etc.) will see pensions in their accounts tomorrow afternoon, that is, Friday, September 26th. The so -called “Gise” date has been set for Monday 29 current month.

In detail, the payment dates follow the rule of separation between employees and non -employees and are formed as follows:

When will OPECA benefits be paid

OPECA will pay the pensions of uninsured elders and the 4th installment of the popular A21 child allowance on Tuesday 30 September. These amounts will be credited on the afternoon of Monday 29th 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.

There are, of course, those who will receive retroactively: the amounts will be received by those who have submitted applications after the payment of the 1st, the 2nd and the 3rd installment of the aid and after the payment of July 31. This category of beneficiaries will receive all four installments of the A21 children allowance.
