EFKA: Errors in 50% of Pensions – Who Will Return Money

Serious errors are found in over 50% of pensions issued through the fast track process by EFKA, according to social security experts.

The errors are mainly due to successive insurance cases and computer errors, causing delays, retroactive refunds and disputes.

An example is an insured person with 20 years at the former IKA, who receives a reduced pension by 30% due to early retirement, although he has an additional 20 years of insurance at the former OAEE. Although he is entitled to a full pension based on 40 years of insurance, correcting the error may take 2-4 years.
