The Social Insurance Institute (Greek: Ίδρυμα Κοινωνικών Ασφαλίσεων, IKA) was the largest, state based, social security organization in Greece: its beneficiaries were 5,530,000 members of the Greek employed population and 830,000 pensioners.[1] It was established in 1934 with first director Panagiotis Kanellopoulos. A common myth in Greece is that it was created by the Metaxas regime (1936-1941), however its function began in 1937.
It maintained its own units for health service until 2012, when they were absorbed by EOPYY.
In 1 January 2017 was absorbed by EFKA, an organization which absorbed different social security funds.
