I have recently been diagnosed with a disability of group 2, can I receive my retirement savings ahead of schedule?
According to the law "On Pension Provision in the Republic of Kazakhstan", the right to receive pension payments from the UAPF comes under certain conditions, including in the case of disability of groups 1 and 2 indefinitely. The UAPF is obliged to make pension payments to recipients in accordance with the procedure established by the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The specified procedure, including the calculation of the amount of the annual amount of pension payments according to the established schedule from the UAPF, are determined by the Rule for the implementation of pension payments from pension savings formed at the expense of mandatory pension contributions, mandatory occupational pension contributions from the unified accumulative pension fund, and the methodology for calculating the amount of pension payments approved by Government Decree No. 1042 dated 02.10.2013. Thus, if the disability of group 2 is fixed to you indefinitely, you can receive pension payments from the UAPF according to the established schedule or at a time if the total amount of your pension savings is less than 12 minimum pensions, this year it is 519,264 tenge. If there are enough savings, then pension payments are made until they are exhausted. At the same time, the minimum pension payment from the UAPF for recipients with disabilities of any age cannot be less than 70% of the subsistence minimum or 24,012 tenge in the current year.
You can apply online on the foundation's website enpf.kz . The day of applying for a pension payment for this category of recipients is the date of receipt or receipt of documents to the UAPF, after which the UAPF transfers the amounts of pension payments to your bank account within ten working days.
