Greece to Issue 150 Euro Per Child Supplementary Payment by August 31

Families in Greece can expect a supplementary payment of 150 euros per child by August 31, offering a chance to receive the benefit for those who missed the initial distribution. This additional payment targets parents who welcomed a child in 2025 but encountered issues with declaring the child as a dependent on their tax returns.

To qualify for the supplementary funds, parents must have declared the child on a timely tax return for the 2025 tax year and registered the child's AMKA (social security number). Additionally, a correct IBAN linked to one of the parents' accounts must be on file. If these procedures were completed correctly, no new application is necessary for the supplementary payment.

For children born between January 1 and July 31, 2026, the process differs. Parents must first obtain an AFM (tax identification number) for the child and then link it to the AMKA. Required documents for the AFM include the birth certificate and a parent's sworn statement for consent.

Authorities advise parents to promptly verify their declared information. Any outstanding issues with AMKA, AFM, or IBAN could affect eligibility for the supplementary payment. Ensuring all details are accurate and up-to-date is crucial for receiving the intended financial support.
