The payment schedule for August and September 2026 pensions has been confirmed by e-EFKA, Greece’s unified social security fund. As in previous months, payments will be staggered between insured persons who were formerly self-employed and those who were employees—reflecting the ongoing administrative distinction between the two groups.

- Main pensions from former funds for the self-employed (OAEE, OGA, and ETAA)
- Main pensions granted since the establishment of EFKA (under Law 4387/2016) via the EFKA Integrated Information System (OPS-EFKA), for both employees and self-employed individuals whose retirement began on or after 1 January 2017
- All supplementary pensions in the private sector—covering both employees and self-employed individuals
