In particular, those interested who have now settled their debts (either by paying off or settling and paying the first installment), can:
a) To contact any local e-EFKA store and in fact without appointment specifically for insurance capacity issues and to obtain insurance capacity immediately.
b) Enter the online service “Insurability check for self-employed persons” ( and select “debt dispute”. A special task force, set up for this purpose, processes the requests and insurance capacity is restored within a few hours.
c) To wait for the scheduled one automatic attribution of insurability. Even in this regard, instead of being held monthly, it was decided to be held every week as an emergency. Already, as of yesterday, those who paid or settled by March 6th became insurable, while those who did so from March 7th will automatically become insurable at the end of next week.
Since it is observed that the majority of those who approached the stores and the platform still had debts and, in order not to suffer, those concerned are requested, before contacting the local stores, to check:
a) if they actually have insurance capacity, by following the above link,
b) if they have current debts, following the link and
c) if they have confirmed debts to the KEAO, which they should pay or settle, following the link
As stated in a relevant announcement, the insurance capacity is attributed to all employees. As far as the self-employed are concerned, a necessary condition is that they have either paid their insurance contributions, or settled their debts and regularly pay the installments provided for by the regulation. As far as employees are concerned, the prerequisite is the realization of at least 50 days of work (declared to the APD by the employer) during the previous calendar year or during the last twelve months, regardless of the payment of contributions by the employer.
It is emphasized that the loss of insurance capacity does not entail the loss of free medical care. All legally resident citizens in the country with an active AMKA have unhindered and free access to hospitalization and medical care in the public health system, i.e. in public hospitals, as well as in Health Centers.
Special care has been taken for the following vulnerable population groups: minors, people with disabilities and chronically ill patients, who are also covered by private doctors for prescribing medicines, treatments and diagnostic tests.
Finally, it is recalled that exceptional insurance capacity for the period 2024-2025 it has also been granted to categories of workers who face objective difficulty in meeting and meeting the necessary conditions of insurance capacity: affected by natural disasters, to workers in the Skaramanga Shipyards, in the Perama Shipyard Repair Zone and in the Elefsina Shipyards.
