Greece: Economic package, wage increases, and social reforms

Overview

Greece continues to expand its social welfare and economic reforms. In September 2026, the government implemented a progressive birth allowance for large families, removing previous caps to provide an additional 1,000 euros for each child beyond the fourth.

Pensioner support has been updated with a tax-free annual financial aid increase to 400 euros, scheduled for distribution on November 30, 2026. This measure removes income and asset restrictions, extending benefits to approximately 2.2 million recipients, including those over 65, widows, and individuals with disabilities. However, the Unified Retirees Network (ENDISY) criticized the move as a mere ‘handout’ that fails to address inflation and excludes 300,000 pensioners under age 65.

Administrative and employment services have seen significant activity. The Public Employment Service (DYPA) opened electronic applications for the 2026 special seasonal allowance, targeting approximately 80,000 seasonal workers in sectors like tourism and construction with payments between 719 and 1,438 euros. DYPA also reported that 27 of its 28 nursery stations are operational, providing childcare to 1,394 children.

Additionally, e-EFKA and DYPA scheduled the distribution of approximately 65 million euros in mid-September 2026 to cover unemployment, maternity leave, and subsidized employment programs. Regarding child benefits, the OPEKA platform for A21 payments underwent scheduled maintenance in September to facilitate the fourth installment, with subsequent payments expected through the end of the year. Agricultural support remains available via the AADE platform for the transfer of basic income support rights.
