“ET” disclosure: Triple retroactive package – The amounts to which 1.3 million pensioners are entitled per Fund
They are “locking in” retroactive pensions with new court rulings returning 11 months’ worth of cuts to pensioners. The pensioners who claim them with lawsuits are 360,000, while together with those who have not appealed to the courts they reach 1.3 million pensioners.
The time for the final settlement of the backlog with retroactive pensions is now counting down, as the only thing that remains to be clarified is whether the refunds claimed by the pensioners will include the Gifts for main and supplementary pensions or not.
The decision on Gifts is expected from the Supreme Special Court (SSC) and according to the latest information from the “Insurance and Pensions” insert, it will be positive for the pensioners’ claims. In this case, the developments that will be initiated following the issuance of the AED decision will be the following:
- All pensioners who have made claims claiming back 11 months of supplementary pension cuts together with the supplementary pension Gifts are automatically entitled.
- Pensioners who have filed appeals for the return of Gifts to the main pensions are eligible.
- Issue of retroactive payment of supplementary and Gifts is opened for all pensioners who did not file lawsuits.
- The legal background is being created for the settlement of retroactive payments to which State pensioners are entitled from the unconstitutional cuts of the EAS to the main pensions of more than 1,400 euros for the two years 2017-2018, as well as for the payment of retroactive payments to widow’s pensions issued following 2016 , which, as the Court of Audit ruled, had to be paid with 70% of the pension received by the deceased, without prior recalculation, which reduced the final amount.
About 360,000 retirees are claiming retroactive pensions with lawsuits, while another 900,000 retirees who have not filed lawsuits have the same cuts.
If, as expected, the State loses the case at the AED, then the government should, first of all, resolve the backlog of thousands of lawsuits that have been on the waiting list since 2017 and proceed with a legislative arrangement similar to that which he did in 2020 with retroactives to the main pensions, so that the 360,000 pensioners who have gone to court will be paid the 11th month of cuts.
This scenario is gaining ground and was the main choice in the plans that were made in the previous period (before the European elections) at the Ministry of Labor in the event that the Gift case was lost in the AED for the State and won for the pensioners.
The cost of this option with an 11-month retroactive payment for adjuncts with their Gifts is estimated at around 650 million euros.
However, in 2020, when the 11-month retroactive payments to the main pensions were paid, the beneficiaries were not only the pensioners who had filed appeals, but all the pensioners who fell under the unconstitutional pension cuts.
With the same logic of equality and social justice, any solution decided on the payments of the retroactive 11 months for the supplementary pensions should also include the pensioners who have not appealed.
The difference, however, between 2020 and 2024 is that the government claims there is not the same financial room to pay all pensioners retroactively. Despite this, the scenario being considered for reasons of social justice is to pay a one-time sum of 600-700 euros – instead of retroactively – and pensioners who have not appealed.
Retrospectively up to 1,243 euros in additional with new decisions -Postponement for Gifts
The decisions of the Courts of First Instance on the retroactive Gifts of the pensioners are postponed until the final decision of the Supreme Special Court is issued.
On the contrary, the Courts of First Instance hear the retroactive cases in the auxiliary gatherings and in all cases where the trials are concluded, the pensioners are vindicated with 11 months’ refunds from the cuts of Laws 4051/2012 and 4093/2012.
The “Insurance and Pensions” insert secured and publishes three recent decisions issued by the 15th and 17th Single-Member Court of First Instance of Athens with numbers 4493/2024, 5335/2024 and 6131/2024.
The first decision with number 4493/2024 by the 15th Single-Member Court of First Instance of Athens concerns the return of 11-month retroactive pensions to public pensioners (TEADY). The case was handled by the lawyer Maria-Magdaleni Tsipras and the pensioners were vindicated by the court with the return of retroactive amounts from 339 euros to 1,243 euros. The judgment of the Court shows that the issue of retroactive pensions has been “locked” once and for all, as the claims of the pensioners are not affected in any way by the outcome of the trial for the Gifts in the AED. Therefore, the 11-month retroactive payments for the supplementary benefits are legally binding and the government must, as soon as the decision of the AED is issued, proceed with a final settlement of the payments, without further litigation for the pensioners.
In Dora, the courts judge differently and postpone the issuance of decisions, so as not to prejudge the decision of the AED. As can be seen in the documents of the two decisions revealed by the insert “Insurance and Pensions” (with numbers 5335 and 6131/2024 from the 17th Single-Member Court of First Instance of Athens), the issuance of a decision is postponed until the decision of the Supreme Special Court is published.
What amounts do pensioners claim for supplementary benefits?
The retroactive payments from supplementary and supplementary pension Gifts, depending on the Fund to which the pensioners belong, are structured indicatively as follows:
*For IKA pensioners, retroactive payments are from 410 euros to 2,372 euros.
*For pensioners from DEKO Funds and banks, retroactive payments are from 1,111 euros to 4,004 euros.
*For State pensioners, retroactive payments are from 668 euros to 2,604 euros.
*For pensioners of other auxiliary funds (lawyers, sales clerks, bakers, etc.) retroactive payments are from 1,242 euros to 2,399 euros.
*For NAT pensioners retroactively only for the reduction of supplementary allowance by law 4093 and the Auxiliary Allowance Gifts from 503 euros to 1,985 euros.
Courts continue to issue retroactive judgments based on legal claims, which are returned with the corresponding interest.
