By September 18, e-ΕΦΚΑ and DYPA will transfer a total of €65.04 million to more than 64 thousand recipients. The bulk of payments come from unemployment benefits, employment programs and one-time payments.

| Subsidized employment programs | €21 million | 20,000 |

Who should check the account first?
In the coming days, those who:

- is on subsidized maternity leave;
- participates in the DYPA subsidized employment program;
- expects a one-time payment of e-ΕΦΚΑ;
- participates in community service programs.
When money appears in the account
In practice, crediting depends on the specific payment category and the recipient’s bank.
Some amounts may become visible the evening before the official date, but you should focus on the department’s schedule.
If a payment was expected, but after the end of the specified period the money has not appeared, it is worth checking:
- application status;
- IBAN relevance;
- messages in your DYPA or e-ΕΦΚΑ personal account;
- presence of an unfinished check or decision.
