The temporary pension is intended to be abolished, initially for pensioners in the public sector, as the periods for awarding the final pension have improved considerably. The digitisation of the stamps has shortened procedures, with 8 out of 10 decisions in the public domain being issued in less than two months. e-EFKA aims to issue main pensions within one month after the completion of the digitisation of the old stamps by December 2026. Currently, civil servants receive as a temporary pension 50% of their salaries under the 2011 payroll.
Analyticalally:
The temporary pension – in the first phase for pensioners in the public sector – is to be abolished after the significant improvement in the time of the final pension.
The insured persons will receive the final main pension directly if they have spent all years in the public sector, i.e. without successive or parallel insurance
The digitization of the stamps has led to abbreviations of the years needed for the issuance of pensions – in many insurance funds – resulting in a temporary pension not necessary. The case of the public sector is typical where almost 8 out of 10 retirement decisions with insurance time entirely within the public sector (except in cases of successive insurance) are issued by automated procedure in less than two months.
In death pensions the transfer is already made on the same day as the application is submitted. After this development e EPKA examines the termination of temporary pensions – in the first phase – in the public sector.
This means that insured persons will receive the final main pension directly if they have spent all years in the public sector, i.e. without successive or parallel insurance.
Today, employees who retire due to old age from the State receive as a temporary pension 50% of their salary on the basis of the 2011 payroll. This amount is significantly lower than the pension and under law is paid for a quarter in which the insured persons should receive their final pension.
Especially in public award times have fallen below both months, so there is no need for temporary pension.
However, there are cases such as successive insurance and parallel insurance, but also insurance with incomplete supporting documents or debt to the funds. In these categories the waiting time can reach and exceed one year. In such cases the temporary pension may continue to be granted.
The e – EPKA
The issue of main pensions within one month of the submission of the application aspires to succeed – soon – e EPKA. This great leap for the main pensions will be the result of the completion of the digitization of the old stamps which will join – fully – the ATLAS system.
The process of digitising the stamps covering the period before 1998 is progressing rapidly. In fact, several funds have already been completed, which paves the way for a faster version of pension decisions.
Despite delays in some insurance institutions – such as the IKA and the OAEE, with digitisation rates of 60% and 45% respectively – in the scientific and press funds progress varies between 60% and 100%. Specifically, CSMEDE reaches 98%, CSAY at 92%, while ETA-SME is at 75%.
In the larger funds there are delays and up to
Today, it has been digitized around 55% of the officials from the three OAEE Funds (TEV TSA, TAE) from 16 Funding Fund of the EIF, IKA and the Co-operative Fund (TSAGGSO).
The digitization of the stamps begins from 1980 onwards and includes all the insurance history and changes of workers for a 45-year period effectively covering those who began insurance from the age of 20.
The conversion of the stamps into intangible insurance through the digitisation of the paper file of all funds concerns the principal and ancillary insurance.
The progress of digitization is necessary for the next stage: the automatic reading of digital insurance years by the IT systems. This process, which is expected to be completed by December 2026, will enable a main pension to be awarded within a few hours.
