How to apply for pension benefits from the Unified Accumulative Pension Fund for age, disability and voluntary pension contributions?
Persons who have pension savings in the UAPF, formed through compulsory pension contributions (CPC) and (or) compulsory occupational pension contributions (COPC), and who have reached the generally established retirement age, as well as persons with disabilities of the first and second groups, if the disability is established for an indefinite period, have the right to receive pension payments from the UAPF according to the established schedule.
To assign pension benefits from the UAPF at the expense of compulsory types of pension contributions in connection with reaching retirement age, as well as to assign a basic and joint pension from the state budget, beneficiaries must promptly contact the Government for Citizens State Corporation (PSC) at their place of residence. Let us recall that in 2024, persons who have reached the generally established retirement age can receive an old-age pension: men upon reaching 63 years of age, women upon reaching 61 years of age. All types of pension benefits are made from the date of application. In this case, the day of application is considered to be the day of registration of the application and necessary documents in the Public Service Center (provided that the recipient has reached retirement age, otherwise, the day of application is considered the day of reaching retirement age). In this regard, we strongly recommend that you submit an application to the Public Service Center in a timely manner, since this is especially important for receiving benefits from the budget, the assignment of which requires verification of the length of service according to the documents submitted by the beneficiary.
In addition, please note that 2 months before reaching retirement age future pensioners (potential beneficiaries) whose phone numbers are registered in the egov database of mobile citizens, recieve SMS notification is sent about the possibility of timely contacting the nearest branch of the State Corporation to receive services on the assignment of pension benefits with reference to the list of documents on the website egov.kz from number 1414. That is, government bodies send out relevant notifications in order to process pension payments within the prescribed period, since payments are not assigned for the missed period.
It is also worth noting that in order to provide proactive services for paying pension benefits from the UAPF to persons who have reached retirement age, have pension savings in the UAPF and have not applied for their benefit, the UAPF conducts an annual reconciliation together with the State Corporation to determine whether these citizens have assigned pensions old-age benefits and state basic pension benefits from budgetary funds. Based on the results of the annual reconciliation, when identifying persons who have assigned pension benefits from budgetary funds, the UAPF makes pension benefit payments to them within the framework of the relevant agreement concluded with the State Corporation, i.e. undeclared.
For benefit in connection with the establishment of disability of the first or second group, you must contact the UAPF divisions indefinitely either through your personal account on the UAPF website (enpf.kz) or in the UAPF mobile application using an electronic digital signature.
Please note that the UAPF has organized on-site services for persons with disabilities of the first or second group, established for an indefinite period. In this case, a preliminary consultation is carried out, including checking whether it is possible to receive services remotely, without visiting.
An application to receive benefit payments from voluntary pension contributions (VPC) is also submitted to the UAPF: online in your personal account on the website enpf.kz or in the UAPF mobile application, as well as in any division of the Fund. Let us remind you that receiving pension benefits at the expense of VPC is possible starting from the age of 50, that is, before the generally established retirement age. In addition, payments at the expense of VPC are made to persons with disabilities, as well as foreigners and stateless persons who have left for permanent residence outside the Republic of Kazakhstan, unless otherwise provided by the laws of the Republic of Kazakhstan and international treaties ratified by the Republic of Kazakhstan.
