With an amendment tabled this week, two new arrangements are being made for the award of the pension, giving hope to 170.000 future retirees awaiting retirement.
In particular, there are the fast track pensions that will be awarded in three months and will concern the new retirees and the trust pensions that will concern the 170.000 waiting for their pension to be issued.
As announced by the Minister of Labor, Kostis Hatzidakis, the two main interventions, are the following:
Fast track pensions
After Easter, EFKA will be obliged to issue pensions within three months, that is, to complete the relevant control within this period.
If this deadline is not met, then the competent services to issue the decision will have to rely on two facts: On the one hand, the data contained in the electronic system "ATLAS" for the insurance history of the applicant, on the other hand in the additional information that he has provided for the time of his insurance. In other words, the control will be done on the basis of these data only and the pension will be issued in record time.
The arrangements for fast track pensions will apply to new retirees, that is, those who apply for a pension that becomes overdue after 31/3.
In essence, the process of "trust building" will be repeated so that the pension comes out quickly based on the data in the digitized history.. This is how the calculation will be done and the controls will follow in the second year. The controls will not be sampled but will concern all the insured.
Writing trust
The "trust pension" will concern the stock of outstanding pensions. In this case, the process will be even faster.
For retirees who are already waiting, the pension will be issued based on the data of the "ATLAS" system, the data they have submitted to EFKA, but also based on their statements for additional insurance time, even if they have not submitted evidence.
That is, without further control, based on the statement-response of the insured to the historical insurance received from EFKA the pension will be withdrawn. That is why the process in this case will be even faster and will be based on the trust of the state to the insured.
In both cases, EFKA will carry out ex-post checks to determine whether the information stated by the insured is correct and to proceed with the necessary adjustments of the amount of the pension, if it is necessary.
In case of submission of false data, the corresponding sanctions will be imposed.
The process of drawing up a trust is activated after the relevant law is passed without the insured making an application., directly from the services.
particularly, services will be entered in the pensioner's tab, they will see there what stamps there are digitally - in IKA all the insurance time after 2002 is digital - the supporting documents submitted by the insured and with the resulting insurance time the calculation will be made and a pension will be issued, which will be considered final.
In the second year, checks and crossings will be made, while the insured will be required to provide additional supporting documents if necessary.
If afterwards there is a pension amount higher than that given by the first fast track calculation, then the extra amount will be given retroactively to the insured.
If a smaller amount of pension arises afterwards, it will also be returned retroactively to EFKA.
Trust pensions apply to all overdue retirement applications up to 31/3/2022, whether they have been submitted digitally or by hand.
According to the data of the HELIOS system, issued in February 22.425 final retirement decisions and paid 731 temporary pensions, while in January they were issued 26.981 final and 965 temporary pensions.
The main pension arrears are approx 75.000 and auxiliary around 95.000.
