Greece’s National Social Security Fund (EFKA) is set to launch a digital personal portfolio for every incurred individual by the end of 2025. This initiative will serve as a digital tool providing easily accessible information to all insured citizens, in an attempt to upgrade the organization’s services.
The digital portfolio will allow users to access details such as their insurance stamps, years of insurance, contributions, insurance status, pension payments and eligibility for retroactive payments. Citizens will also be able to book appointments with EFKA services using the tool through their mobile phone.
The project which is currently in the implementation phase, aims to create a comprehensive and unified repository of insurance history, by converting large volumes of paper records into digital data.
The digitization efforts target insurance records predating 2001, and in some cases even before 1998, ensuring that each insured individual’s file is complete.

When implemented, this new initiative will enable users to have a clear and immediate view of their insurance history including their insurance stamps and coverage.
Retirees will be able to check their pension status at anytime via their mobile devices, retrieving information regarding the granting of their pension, pension payment date, eligibility for retroactive benefits, or when the three-year period for a widow’s pension expires.
Employed insured members under a salaried status will be able to verify whether their employer has paid their contributions, or when their payment ID was issued, for self-employed professionals and farmers.
This way, insured individuals can quickly determine their coverage period, any debts, and whether they have valid insurance coverage.
Finally, the digital portfolio will be integrated with the disability card service and the IDIKA (e-Government Center for Social Security Services), allowing users to track referrals and prescription medications.
