Self-employed insured persons can submit a request for transfer of credit balances from TEKA to the e-Electronic National Social Security Entity (eEFKA), for contributions paid by mistake to TEKA without a corresponding insurance obligation. The amount available for transfer is reflected as ‘Balance to be transferred’ in the monthly TEKA insurance contribution payment notices.

When you log in to the application, you are informed about the legal framework and the procedure for submitting a transfer request. Once the application has been successfully submitted, it is processed on a monthly basis, which includes:

• checking for any arrears to the TEKA
• offsetting against outstanding contributions (if any)
• transferring the remaining amount to the e-EFKA, with the credit date being the date of submission of the transfer application

You will need to fill in:

• your personal Taxisnet credentials
• your Social Insurance Number (AMKA)

Please note that the transfer of the amount to the e-Electronic National Social Security Entity (eEFKA) does not amount to a refund to the insured person. To obtain a refund from the e-Electronic National Social Security Entity (eEFKA), a separate application is required, which you can submit through the electronic services of the e-Electronic National Social Security Entity (eEFKA), following the route: E-Services / Social Security Rights / Refunds / Application for the Refund of Undue Payments.
