Unified Social Security Fund

Pension increases, lump-sum financial aid, reductions in deductions, “corrections for injustices,” and other significant changes will be promoted starting from autumn, benefiting large groups of pensioners.

Individuals and businesses who are due a tax rebate but owe money to the Unified Social Security Fund (EFKA) will see their rebates offset with their debts, may no longer be able to submit their statements to EFKA online and may be prosecuted. 

All these moves are part of the social security debt collection center's plan to crack down on debt and prevent its further accumulation. 

About 30 percent of all insured employees in Greece are working - or are declared to work - part-time for an average monthly salary of just 396.11 euros, according to data collected by the Unified Social Security Fund (EFKA).
