Greece Announces August and September 2026 Pension Payment Dates

The dates for the payment of pensions for August and September 2026 have been finalized and announced in Greece. The schedule adheres to the established rule of staggering payments based on whether pensioners were formerly employed or self-employed.

For August 2026, main pensions from the former self-employed funds (OAEE, OGA, ETAA), main pensions issued since the establishment of EFKA under Law 4387/2016 via the OPS-EFKA system, and all private sector supplementary pensions will be paid on Tuesday, July 28, 2026. This includes both employed and self-employed pensioners from January 1, 2017, onwards.

On Thursday, July 30, 2026, main pensions from the former employed funds (IKA-ETAM, banks, OTE, DEI, etc.), as well as main and supplementary pensions for public sector employees, will be disbursed.

Looking ahead to September 2026, the payment schedule largely mirrors August's structure. On Wednesday, August 26, 2026, payments will be made for main pensions from former self-employed funds, EFKA-issued pensions from 2017 onwards, and all private sector supplementary pensions. Finally, on Friday, August 28, 2026, main pensions for formerly employed individuals and all public sector pensions (main and supplementary) will be paid.
