Payable today Wednesday, August 9, 2023from the Public Employment Service (DYPA) the one-off benefit 300 euros to an additional 2,434 non-subsidized long-term unemployed who drew up a Digital Individual Action Plan.

Payments appear in the accounts of beneficiaries within 1-2 working daysafter their payment.

In total, so far, the benefit has been paid to 71,173 beneficiaries.

As stated in a related announcement, the “bonus” was instituted with “Works Again” Act (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 to actions to develop their employability and find work.

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

  • have completed continuous registered unemployment of more than five years and then draw up a Digital Individual Action Plan and
  • 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 TaxisNet codes: 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 for more than five years and draw up a Digital Individual Action Plan can enter the platform and register an IVAN.

Those unemployed who have already drawn up an Individual Action Plan should convert it into a Digital Individual Action Plan. Specifically, they log in with TaxisNet codes to the electronic services (eservices) of DYPA and confirm or update the details of the Individual Action Plan, so that it turns into a 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 make an 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
