Uninsured Older People

The Uninsured Older People Social Solidarity Allowance, administered by OPEKA, provides a safety net for our fellow citizens who are at a vulnerable age and were unable to accumulate the insurance record required for retirement, although they have reached the age of 67. Law 4387/2016 established the framework for this benefit as part of the Greek State’s welfare provision for vulnerable groups. In application of that law, since 12 May 2016 the Uninsured Older People Social Solidarity Allowance has been provided first by OGA and now by OPEKA. As of 1 January 2025, it amounts to  EUR 409.13  and is awarded based on income, property and other criteria.
