Ministry of Labor: “The attack on fast track pensions is one of those who lose their clientele”

“At a time when EFKA is setting a historical record for the issuance of pensions in May with over 30,000 awards and the huge problem of outstanding pensions comes to an end within the summer, some ‘pensioners’ representatives and workers who made a career in television, investing in anxiety of the insured to receive their pensions on time, today they are deconstructing every reform in the Organization “, sources of the Ministry of Labor state.

The same sources emphasize that “after they fought in every way the institution of certified accountants and lawyers and did not succeed, as through it pensions are now issued in less than 90 days, today they launch coordinated attacks on the new process of fast track pensions. They claim that these pensions are issued with serious mistakes and omissions and do not accuse the administration and employees of serious administrative negligence to the detriment of the insured.

Why do they choose the tactics of lies, misinformation and conflict? Because they are simply losing a significant portion of their customer base.

The insured who wants to retire quickly no longer needs to pay a law firm with access and contacts within EFKA to receive it.

With the new fast track procedure, the EFKA employee has 3 months to issue the pension and if he does not do so then the automatic issuance process is activated taking into account the available data that EFKA has in its systems, but also the data provided the insured.

With the fast track pensions and the final issue of the outstanding pensions within the summer, a para-system of dependence of the insured who was forced to pay exorbitant amounts as a ‘quick sign’ for the issuance of their pension is finally ‘broken’. The pension will be issued on time and the insured does not have to pay a ‘pension specialist’ to ‘run’ it.

They are so anxious to deconstruct the fast track pensions, which distribute to the media cases of pensions that were issued with errors and omissions, which, however, were not issued through the fast track process! They were issued through the automation process, subject to additional controls and the issuance of an amending retirement decision when the recapitalization process is completed. It is a procedure provided by the legislation for years and also applies to the cases of those complex pensions issued directly by the rapporteurs.

After all, the possibility of error or omission in the issuance of the pension has been foreseen as a possibility in the insurance legislation for decades. That is why there are the relevant re-checking procedures that ensure the exact amount of the pension in full and are activated even without an objection from the insured! The “supposed protectors” of the insured are well aware of this, but deliberately avoid emphasizing it in their television and radio appearances.

Especially for fast track pensions, the obligation has been provided for the ex-post – in depth of 3 years – additional checks by the services of EFKA and correction of any errors and objections whenever the insured wishes. In this way, the citizen is fully secured and the possibility of being wronged by EFKA in terms of the amount of the pension he will receive is zero.

Those who fight with such fervor this new process should think that they are primarily fighting the thousands of insured who want to receive their pension in time. They are fighting against the choice of the citizen to receive his pension immediately and at the same time they are defending the many-month delays against a serious financial benefit for themselves. And let them consider that between the personal and the social interest, the social always prevails “.
