The payment of the child allowance also to the beneficiaries who were not paid on March 31, 2023, due to outstanding tax issues from previous years, will take place today, Friday, April 7.

According to the tax expert Mara Methenitis who was mentioned speaking to ERT in the relevant announcement of OPECA, these beneficiaries will have the relevant personalized information through the electronic application of the child benefit.

The amount entitled per case will be calculated based on the dependent children to be declared in the A21 of 2023 and the total family income of the citizens of the tax year 2022.

However, until the submission of the Income Tax Declaration for 2023, the income of the tax year 2021 will be taken into account for the calculation of the entitled amount.

The electronic application submission platform A21 allows, through extensive electronic cross-checks with available databases of other entities and services, to check the accuracy and correctness of the declared data and information during the application submission stage.

It is reminded that in order to be granted the allowance, the application must be submitted definitively and approved. Please note that an application that has been temporarily stored is considered not submitted and will not be taken into account.

The system has not yet been opened to new applications but is expected to be within April, he said.

OPECA’s disability benefits will also increase by 8% in April. This increase is expected to enter the accounts on the 28ththe April.
