Athens, April 30, 2013

The electronic services of the Social Security Institute (www.ika.gr), Social Security Number (www.amka.gr) and Social Health Insurance e-Governance (www.idika.gr) for the completion of Social Security Numbers and Tax Identifications Numbers will remain available until the evening of Tuesday.

The services are addressed to pensioners and to beneficiaries of dividends of both the Hellenic State and Funds through which they will be able complete any incomplete fields or correct incorrect Social Security Numbers and Tax Identifications Numbers.

As the Ministry of Labour announced, the goal is, on the one hand, to complete the endeavour that began on 21/12/2012 for the creation of a comprehensive and integrated pension register with minimum problems for pensioners and, on the other hand, to avoid suspending the payment of pensions and dividends at the end of April due to a lack of valid information regarding Social Security Numbers and Tax Identification Numbers.
