The heavy artillery is lining up the Ministry of Labor in the war for the zeroing of the outstanding main pensions. The commander of EFKA issued the relevant circular, which puts the award system in a new era, with the beginning of the issuance of the so-called trust pensions, but also fasttrack pensions.
Trust pensions relate to the pension applications that have been submitted until 31/3/2022. No additional documents are required, and no check will be made before the issuance of the pension since the employees of EFKA will award it based on the electronic history of the insured as it is “uploaded” to the ATLAS system and the statement he may have made for recognition. extra insurance time. In other words, the system will trust the insured and the pension will be issued in less than 3 months. After the issuance of the pension, however, it will the supporting documents are checked, for this reason, the insured will have to keep physical documents that he may not have submitted to EFKA for 10 years.
Fasttrack pensions are about retirement from 1/4/2022 onwards. EFKA employees are obliged to complete all inspections and procedures within 3 months of submitting the application and to issue it. If they do not succeed, then they must issue it based on what information they have at their disposal so far. And in this case – as with trust pensions – it can be checked afterwards. The difference, however, is – as with trust pensions – that the insured already receives his pension without waiting … hanging on a tree. It goes without saying that if the ex-post controls show deviations, the necessary offsets will be made.
In the “new era” there are schedules for supplementary pensions but also for lump sums. Specifically, within 3 months from the issuance of the main one, the auxiliary must be issued, while for the lump sum, the waiting period is set at 6 months from the submission of the request.
With these 2 interventions, the government estimates that it will be able to to reset by the end of June the stock of about 75,000 outstanding main pensions.
