A total of €79,684,160.74 is scheduled for payment to 92,826 recipients from 5 to 9 October, according to the weekly payment schedule published on 3 October by the Ministry of Labour and Social Security.

The announcement concerns planned e-EFKA and DYPA payments. It does not establish a new benefit or individually confirm when each sum will appear in a bank account.

e-EFKA payments

On Tuesday 6 October, €15,184,160.74 is scheduled for 30,426 recipients of cash benefits, including maternity, pregnancy, sickness and accident benefits, and funeral expenses.

From 5 to 9 October, €18.5 million is also scheduled for 900 recipients following lump-sum payment decisions.

DYPA payments

  • €25 million to 41,000 recipients for unemployment benefits and other allowances.
  • €1 million to 1,500 mothers for subsidised maternity leave.
  • €20 million to 19,000 recipients through subsidised employment programmes.

What recipients should know

The figures cover the two agencies’ total weekly programme, rather than a single benefit. Inclusion in each payment depends on the benefit, decision or programme already approved for the recipient.

The date a credit appears can vary by bank and clearing procedure. Individual cases should be checked through the relevant electronic service or agency; the weekly schedule does not contain named recipient lists.
