With a new favorable regulation, it seems that the pensions.
According to ERT, another favorable regulation is coming for the pensioners sector and especially for those who have completed their working cycle but due to debts to funds do not receive a pension.
The government is working on a plan to issue the pension to insured persons who have debts of more than 20,000 euros and they cannot offset them by withholding the pension in 60 installments.
The problem also concerns debts from contributions of 6,000 for farmers. Today, in order to retire, they must repay the excess amount in one go, while the remaining debts are withheld from their pension in up to 60 installments.
The first scenario studied by the Ministry of Labor envisages an increase in the debt limit possibly to 30,000 euros for freelancers and 10,000 for farmers, as well as an increase in the number of installments.
Also on the table is the scenario that the pension is issued normally but the entire amount is withheld until the debts fall below the ceiling. The repayment will then be made in installments.
In any case, however, conditions are expected to be set such as the amount of bank deposits and real estate of the debtor, criteria which, as the Labor Minister, Adonis Georgiadis, “will not favor the Batachtsides”.
The changes for working pensioners are being finalized
The withholding of the pension will be replaced by a contribution to the income from their work.
The package of measures for pensioners also includes an increase in the main pensions at the beginning of 2024 (probably by 3 -3.5%) but also a personal difference allowance of 200 to 300 euros.

The Changing Landscape of Pensions: A New Favorable Regulation on the Horizon
In recent years, the pensioners’ sector has been plagued by a multitude of issues, including debts to funds that have left many without a pension. However, with a new favorable regulation on the horizon, it seems that the tide is finally turning in favor of those who have completed their working cycle.
According to reports, the government is working on a plan to issue pensions to insured persons who have debts of more than 20,000 euros and are unable to offset them by withholding their pension in 60 installments. This is a significant development, as many pensioners have been left in limbo due to these debts, which have prevented them from receiving their hard-earned pensions.
But that’s not all – the Ministry of Labor is also considering increasing the debt limit, possibly to 30,000 euros for freelancers and 10,000 for farmers, as well as increasing the number of installments. This would provide a welcome lifeline for those who have been struggling to repay their debts and claim their pensions.
Another scenario being considered is the issuance of pensions in the normal manner, but with the entire amount withheld until the debts fall below the ceiling. Once the debts are repaid, the pension would be released, and the individual would receive their payments in installments. While this may not be the most ideal solution, it is a step in the right direction, and one that would provide some much-needed relief for those who have been struggling.
However, it’s worth noting that conditions will be set, such as the amount of bank deposits and real estate of the debtor, which will be subject to scrutiny by the Labor Minister. This is a clear indication that the government is committed to ensuring that those who have the means to repay their debts do so, rather than relying on the system to bail them out.
But what about working pensioners? The government is also working on a plan to replace the withholding of their pension with a contribution to their income from work. This is a significant development, as it would allow working pensioners to continue earning a living while still receiving their pension benefits.
The package of measures for pensioners also includes an increase in the main pensions at the beginning of 2024, which is expected to be around 3-3.5%. Additionally, a personal difference allowance of 200 to 300 euros is also on the table. These measures would provide a welcome boost for pensioners, many of whom have been struggling to make ends meet on their current benefits.
the new favorable regulation on pensions is a welcome development for those who have been affected by debts and financial struggles. While there is still much work to be done, it appears that the government is taking a proactive approach to addressing these issues and providing relief for those who need it most.
In a broader sense, this development highlights the importance of having effective pension regulations in place. As the UK’s Pensions Regulator notes, the set of laws, rules, and authoritative standards governing the pension industry, and the procedures governing the regulation of the pension industry, play a critical role in protecting workplace pensions [[3]].
In the United States, the IRS provides guidance on the tax treatment of pensions and annuity income under the General Rule [[1]]. These regulations are essential in ensuring that pensioners receive their benefits without undue tax burdens.
As the world continues to navigate the complexities of pension regulations, it is heartening to see governments taking proactive steps to address the issues faced by pensioners. By implementing favorable regulations and increasing support for those who need it most, we can work towards creating a more equitable and sustainable pension system for all.
