Pensioners in Greece will receive their August and September 2026 payments in two separate installments, according to the timeline released by the country's social security agency, EFKA. The disbursement schedule is divided to separate payments for employed and non-employed (self-employed) pensioners.

For August pensions, the first round of payments will be made on Tuesday, July 28, 2026. This date is allocated for main pensions from former non-employed funds (OAAE, OGA, and ETAA), pensions awarded after EFKA's establishment, and all private sector supplementary pensions.

The second round of August payments will occur on Thursday, July 30, 2026. This will cover main pensions from former employed funds (IKA-ETAM, banks, OTE, DEI, etc.), as well as main and supplementary pensions for public sector employees.

September pension payments will follow a similar pattern. The first installment, on Wednesday, August 26, 2026, is for non-employed individuals and those receiving pensions awarded through EFKA, along with private sector supplementary pensions. The second installment, on Friday, August 28, 2026, will be for employed pensioners and public sector employees receiving their main and supplementary pensions.
