More than 200,000 beneficiaries of widow and widower pensions in Greece are set to benefit from a regulatory change expected to be introduced in the Greek Parliament in July 2026. This adjustment will ensure that over 80,000 of these beneficiaries continue to receive 70% of their deceased spouse's pension without a 35% reduction after the three-year period that typically applies.

The changes come amid concerns that some recipients could lose up to €560 per month under existing rules. However, this reform is designed to protect those who would otherwise face a significant decrease in their pension income. Additionally, some pension payments are slated to be doubled starting in September 2026, providing further financial relief to eligible individuals. The Ministry of Labor is working to finalize details surrounding this legislative amendment, which aims to ensure more equitable support for those impacted by the loss of a spouse.
