Foreigners and stateless persons who have pension savings in the UAPF and who have left Kazakhstan can receive pension savings in full (minus individual income tax) before retirement age. To do this, they need to provide the fund (in person, by mail, or through an attorney or legal representative) with a package of documents, which can be found on the UAPF website. After this, pensions will be paid in a lump sum within ten working days.
Kazakh citizens who have retired due to long service can also use all their pension savings to improve their living conditions and (or) pay for medical treatment, namely:
- military personnel;
- employees of special government and law enforcement agencies;
- employees of the state courier service and other persons who have a length of service in military service, service in special state and law enforcement agencies, state courier service of at least 25 years and have reached the age limit established by law upon dismissal from service.
The full list of persons entitled to receive pension payments for long service is determined by Article 212 of the Social Code. To receive lump sum pension benefits to improve their living conditions, long-service pensioners can contact Otbasy Bank or other second-tier banks. To pay for medical treatment - only at Otbasy Bank.
At the same time, Kazakhstanis who have entered into a pension annuity agreement with a life insurance company can use all their pension savings early for housing and medical treatment, thereby ensuring that they receive monthly pension benefits of at least 70 percent of the subsistence level. A complete list of persons entitled to transfer pension savings to an insurance organization and the required package of documents for this is also listed on the official website of the fund.
We also inform you that persons who have pension savings in the UAPF, formed through compulsory pension contributions (CPC), can use part of their pension savings to improve their living conditions and pay for medical treatment:
- whose amount of pension savings exceeds the minimum sufficiency threshold. At the same time, a one-time pension payment cannot exceed the difference between the amount of pension savings at the expense of CPC and (or) compulsory occupational pension contributions of the contributor (beneficiary) and the established minimum sufficiency threshold;
- accomplished pensioners who have savings in the UAPF. They can use up to 50 percent of the remaining amount for housing and/or medical treatment, but only if their total pension (including old-age pension, basic pension and benefit payments from the Unified Accumulative Pension Fund) is at least 40 percent of their previously received salary.
