The advance on the Basic Income Support under the 2026 Single Application for Aid (EAE) was paid yesterday, Saturday 31 October 2026, by Independent Authority for Public Revenue (AADE) to farmers who submitted an application by 25 September 2026.
A total of €7,806,768.22 was paid to 19,819 beneficiaries.
From application to payment
A total of 37,530 applications for the 2026 EAE were submitted by 25 September 2026. Land for Basic Income Support was declared in 27,320 of them, covering 680,306 stremmas and worth €16,258,137.60.
The remaining 10,210 applications either did not include a declaration for Basic Income Support, or the applicants did not declare land parcels, did not hold payment entitlements, or were requests for pastureland allocation.
The applications then underwent administrative checks, taking into account amendments submitted by 10 October 2026, in accordance with Article 7 of the decision by the AADE governor, A.1161/2026, as amended:
An eligible area of 549,827 stremmas was determined (before the application of reductions and penalties) for 24,736 farmers, based on the application data and taking into account any overlaps.
Of these, 4,883 farmers with a determined eligible area are not included in today’s payment, for the following reasons:
3,060 farmers for whom no support amount was payable after reductions and penalties were applied,
400 farmers whose payment was withheld because of outstanding issues, mainly concerning payment entitlements (366),
1,423 farmers whose payment was below the minimum threshold of €150.
The €150 threshold applies to the farmer’s total direct payments for 2026, not just to Basic Income Support.
For the remaining 19,853 farmers who met the payment requirements, the total advance payment came to €7,838,583.59, equivalent to 70% of the support after the prescribed reductions and penalties were applied.
After offsets against debts, the final amount paid came to €7,806,768.22 and was credited to 19,819 beneficiaries.
The amounts are credited to the account (IBAN) declared by beneficiaries to AADE through the “Register & Contact / IBAN Account Declaration” application on myAADE and pre-filled in the 2026 EAE.
Next payment
Farmers who submitted an EAE between 26 September and 10 November 2026 will receive the advance payment by 30 November 2026.
In addition, amendments submitted by 10 November 2026 will be taken into account for farmers who applied by 25 September 2026 but did not meet the payment requirements and therefore received no advance payment today, so that they can be included in the November advance payment for 2026.
For those who received a reduced advance payment, amendments will be taken into account for the first payment, which will be made in December. AADE will send these farmers an information message so they can make the necessary corrections in good time.
Farmers who have applied for pastureland allocation will receive the advance payment within the first ten days of November 2026, after the necessary cross-check of data from the myAGRO platform against Cadastre data.
