Other benefits scheduled for payment include the Minimum Guaranteed Income (formerly KEA), Housing Benefit, Birth Grant, disability benefits, and aid for expatriates, uninsured elderly individuals, and those receiving housing assistance. Payments also cover funeral expenses, benefits for mountainous and disadvantaged areas, support for debtors with "red" loans, and financial aid for protected children of natural disaster victims.

For the Child Benefit (A21), recipients must have submitted and had their applications approved by the system to qualify for the July 31 payment. Applications still in temporary storage or incomplete are not considered valid. Beneficiaries can check their application status on the OPCA's electronic platform and gov.gr to confirm finalization before the payment date.
