Tomorrow, Monday, August 23, 2021, the first training cycle of lawyers and accountants-tax technicians is kicking off by e-EFKA (the electronic platform of the unified social security fund), with the aim, after their successful certification, to join the award process and contribute to the faster issuance of pensions.
At the same time, by decision of the e-EFKA head Panagiotis Doufexis, the participants in the first round of certification have increased from 180, which was initially announced, to 1,200, due to the large number of applications.
As mentioned in an e-EFKA announcement, the applications of lawyers and accountants-tax experts, to be included in the Special Register of Certified Professionals of e-EFKA, exceeded 3,600. It is noted that for their training-certification, order of priority will be observed based on the time of submission of the application.
The training will take place both asynchronously, through an interactive online platform (Moodle), on the website howto.gov.gr, as well as with online lessons in real time.
The price list:
– Certificate of time insured: 40 euros when the certificate concerns a former social security institution (eg IKA), 80 euros when it concerns more than one institution
– Certificate of non-existence of due contributions for self-employed professionals or for an application for regulation of due contributions: 30 euros.
– Certificate of amount due for recognition of fictitious insurance time: 30 euros
– Draft decision of temporary or final pension (main or auxiliary): 60 euros. If the pension is awarded on the basis of the provisions of successive or parallel insurance, 15 euros are added to the compensation for each former social security institution after the first.
– Pre-retirement certificate: 60 euros. If the certificate concerns insurance time spent in more than one former social security institution, the compensation amounts to 80 euros.
