Approximately 1.87 million Greek pensioners will receive a €300 annual financial boost in November. The government has implemented revised income and asset thresholds to determine eligibility for this benefit. Notably, the age requirement for widow’s pensions has been lowered. However, hundreds of thousands of low-income pensioners will not qualify due to the stricter criteria. The new regulations focus on targeting support to those most in need while tightening budgetary constraints. These changes reflect a recalibration of social welfare policies amid ongoing economic considerations, leaving many vulnerable pensioners without assistance. The revised rules have prompted debate regarding fairness and adequacy of social safety nets.
