In 10 years – from 20 that was valid until today – the statute of limitations for unpaid insurance contributions to the e-EFKA

In 10 years – from 20 that was in force until now – the time available to e-EFKA in order to confirm and collect claims from unpaid insurance contributions is reduced, in accordance with the provisions of law 4997/2022.

If the e-EFKA claim is not confirmed and the debt is not notified to the insured within this period, the debts are time-barred. The provision concerns all categories of debtors of insurance contributions (employers, self-employed, self-employed, farmers).

For the statute of limitations of unconfirmed debts, an application by the insured is not required. The statute of limitations of the certified is done centrally and en masse every year by the KEAO services and the debts in question will not appear on the debtor’s record.

In addition, debts created from 2026 onwards will be time-barred in five years, so that the statute of limitations for insurance debts approaches that of tax debts.

It is emphasized that the possibility of limitation ceases to apply when e-EFKA or KEAO – within 10 years – notifies the insured about the debt in any way: by bailiff-summoner, letter, electronic notification, if there is an administrative enforcement measure for the collection of (notification of individual notification, imposition of seizure on movable/immovable property or claim in the hands of a Third Party, determination of auction program, etc.) etc.

It should be noted that employees do not lose their insurance rights for their employers’ debts during the period 2006-2011, which – based on the new provision – have been statute-barred.

Finally, in the event that the insured wants to submit an objection regarding the time-barred debt, he can do so by addressing the Local Directorate of e-EFKA to which he belongs.
