The procedure is exclusively digital: a single annual application triggers a fully-automated income-tiered eligibility determination (income categories A/B/C) producing either approval — with a bi-monthly payment sequence of six instalments — or rejection. An internal administrative appeal (ενδικοφανής προσφυγή) is available within 3 months of the decision notification.",

"_rationale": "After the applicant submits the annual application via the OPEKA digital platform, the system performs a fully-automated determination of eligibility and income-category assignment (A/B/C), calculates the monthly benefit amount per dependent child, and produces a formal decision (Απόφαση). This is the central binding commitment — it creates a legal entitlement or formal denial. Payment execution across 6 bi-monthly instalments is downstream execution, not a separate CP. The per-instalment income re-verification is flagged as a recurrence pressure in annotations (UA-375051-01) but is not modelled as separate CPs given current ICSL primitives.",
