From 1 June 2022, the submission of new applications for the award and transfer of Auxiliary Pensions to the Private Sector will be made exclusively electronically through the website of e-EFKA.
This eliminates the possibility of submitting in a natural way the supporting documents required for the submission of the application and drastically reduces the time of issuance of supplementary pensions.
In addition, submitting applications exclusively electronically is an integral part of the new fast track supplementary pension process that will minimize award times.
It is noteworthy that in the last 12 months, 94,000 applications for supplementary private sector pensions have been submitted. Of these, 13,000 were submitted electronically and the remaining 81,000 by visiting local addresses.
The electronic submission of the application is made by the insured by entering the e-EFKA website (www.efka.gov.gr), in the selection: Online Retirement Application Service.
It is reminded that for several months now the applications for main pensions have been submitted exclusively electronically, while within the next quarter the transfer applications due to death for the supplementary pensions of the Public sector will be submitted exclusively electronically, where more than 25,000 applications were submitted last year.
Possibility to apply in a natural way to the local addresses will continue to exist only for exceptional cases where in the main pension there is a problem during the electronic submission (eg foreigners). The possibility of either printed or handwritten application for these insured will be provided.
Those interested are given the opportunity to electronically monitor the progress of their retirement application from HERE.
The Minister of Labor and Social Affairs, Kostis Hatzidakis, stated: the supporting documents submitted by the insured. At the same time, the inconvenience and unnecessary movement of citizens to the local addresses are being addressed. With small daily victories we come closer to the main goal which is the citizen to receive without delay his pension, main and auxiliary, and not to create “mountains” again from new pending pensions in the future “.
The Governor of EFKA Panagiotis Doufexis stated: “The submission – exclusively electronically – of the new applications for the award and transfer of supplementary pensions brings us closer to the full digitization of the process of submission and issuance of pensions. In fact, within the next quarter, the exclusively electronic submission of applications will be extended to the supplementary pensions of the public sector, abolishing thousands of transfers to the local addresses of the Organization “.
