Paid today, Wednesday 21 June 2023, by the Public Employment Service (PYPA) the one-time benefit of 300 euros to an additional 1,131 non-subsidized long-term unemployed, who qualified Digital Individual Action Plan.

Payments appear in beneficiary accounts within one to two business days after they are paid.

In total, until now, the benefit has been paid to 68,739 beneficiaries.

As stated in the relevant announcement, the “bonus” was established by the “Jobs Again” law (n. 4921/2022), with the aim of activating the long-term unemployed, through the creation of an updated Individual Digital Action Plan, based on which they can be directed in actions to develop their employability and find work.

Beneficiaries of the new benefit are the long-term unemployed, who:

  • They have completed more than five years of continuous registered unemployment and then draw up a Digital Individual Action Plan.
  • They have an income of up to 16,000 euros for singles, 24,000 euros for married people, plus 3,000 euros per child, or 27,000 euros for single-parent families, plus 3,000 euros per child.

The procedure for paying the benefit is as follows:

Potential beneficiaries enter the platform with their TaxisNet codes at the email address:

https://www.gov.gr/ipiresies/ergasia-kai-asphalise/anergia/ephapax-khrematike-parokhe-gia-anergous.

  • They register or update their bank account details (IBAN) for the payment of the benefit, as well as their marital status.
  • DYPA checks the fulfillment of the conditions ex officio (unemployment period and Digital Individual Action Plan), as well as by cross-checking with the data of competent bodies (AADE and HDIKA).
  • The payment is made automatically to the accounts of the beneficiaries.

It is pointed out that only those who are long-term unemployed over five years and draw up a Digital Individual Action Plan can enter the platform and register an IBAN.

Those unemployed who have already drawn up an Individual Action Plan should convert it into a Digital Individual Action Plan.

Specifically, they enter with codes TaxisNet in the electronic services (eservices) of DYPA and confirm or update the elements of the Individual Action Plan, so that it is converted into Digital Individual Action Plan.

Those unemployed who have not already drawn up an Individual Action Plan should make an appointment with a job counselor at the Employment Promotion Center (KPA2) in their area either via video conference (MyDYPAlive) or in person.

To close appointment, via video conference, the unemployed should visit the online address: https://www.gov.gr/ipiresies/polites-kai-kathemerinoteta/ex-apostaseos-exuperetese-politon/exuperetese-me-telediaskepse-apo-ton-organismo-apaskholeses- ergatikou-dunamikou-oaed.
