EFKA's incorrect calculation of survivor pensions causes significant losses for 300,000 beneficiaries in Greece

kathimerini.gr (Greek)

EFKA miscalculated survivor pensions for approximately 300,000 beneficiaries. The Single Network of Pensioners claims this error leads to significant monthly income losses for recipients. The issue stems from using recalculated pensions instead of the deceased's original pension amount for calculation. This incorrect calculation, which has been ongoing for years, results in average monthly losses of around 110 euros per beneficiary. The network has sent a letter to the Minister of Labor and EFKA administration, urging immediate intervention due to existing court rulings supporting their claim. The problem specifically affects survivors whose spouses, already pensioners before May 2016, passed away after that date. The network warns of a potential wave of new legal challenges if the issue is not resolved.
