The second payment date for pensions in February 2026 is changing, as according to a decision by the EFKA administrator, February 2026 pensions for retirees from IKA, NAT and Public Sector will be paid on January 28 instead of January 29. The payments cover both main and supplementary pensions and include changes resulting from increases and reduced tax withholding, leading to additional benefits that – in some cases – may exceed 2,000 euros in total.

Meanwhile, supplementary pensions will remain “frozen” this year as well, for the 6th consecutive year after the increases provided by the Vroutsis insurance law (February 2020), as government officials clarified following public discussion about the contrary (i.e., increases in supplementary pensions) due to the surplus in EFKA’s supplementary insurance sector in 2025. They justified this stance based on three key factors provided in the Katrougalos law (2016) that were not changed by the Vroutsis law (2020).
