The financial support concerns the electricity bills of the first home or student accommodation in Greece, issued during the period from 01/12/2021 to 31/05/2022. The subsidy rate amounts to 60% of the increase in the electricity price of the first home and, depending on the amount of the bills, it can rise up to the amount of 600 euros.
The amount of the financial aid is credited by the “Socionia tis Informatias Monoprosopi SA”.
After making the aid payments, the Ministry of Education and Culture sends an automated message to the e-mail address declared by the applicant. The message indicates the amount of aid paid to him or informs the applicant if the application is rejected.
This whole process takes place in stages. And there are a number of messages that the platform will throw at you, depending on the stage your application is at. The money is expected to come in at the beginning of July.
“Rejected”: The application has been rejected. If you navigate to the application page, you will see more information at the top (e.g. impossibility of cross-referencing the TIN as beneficiary/co-beneficiary with the declared IVAN). Rejected applications can be changed and resubmitted.
“Under review”: The application has been submitted and is in the process of reviewing the following:
if the applicant has not exceeded one application for himself and his spouse and has not exceeded three for protected members.
“Under clearance”: For those applications in this status, checks have been completed and are waiting from 1 July 2022 for clearances to be carried out to decide the refund amount.
“To be sent to the banking institution”: The refund amount (for payment, via DIAS) will be sent to the selected bank.
“To be processed by banking institution”: The order for the refund amount has been sent to the selected bank via DIAS and the bank is expected to make the payment.
“Approved”: Means that we have received a response from the selected Financial Institution that they have successfully made the payment. The beneficiary can check his/her account.
The money is expected to be in the beneficiaries’ bank accounts by mid-July.
The liquidation of the applications, the determination of the refund amount and its payment to the beneficiaries will take place during the first ten days of July.
