INTRODUCTION OF SPECIAL SOCIAL BENEFITS FOR PERSONS EMPLOYED IN WORK WITH HAZARDOUS WORKING CONDITIONS
UAPF JSC informs that, according to the instructions of the Head of State, in order to increase the social security of citizens of the Republic of Kazakhstan, foreigners and stateless persons permanently residing in the territory of the Republic of Kazakhstan, upon reaching the age of 55 and paying for them compulsory occupational pension contributions (hereinafter referred to as COPC) for a total of at least 84 months from January 1, 2024, the following payments were introduced:
- special social benefit for the above-mentioned persons employed (working) in jobs with hazardous working conditions, consisting of:
1) special occupational state allowance (appointed from the republican budget in the amount of two subsistence minimums (SM) and in 2024 amounts to 86,814 tenge (2 * 43,407));
2) insurance benefit under a pre-retirement annuity insurance contract (assigned by the insurance organization in the amount of 1 monthly salary, in 2024 - 43,407 tenge at the expense of insurance premiums for compulsory accident insurance of employees);
3) occupational benefits at the expense of the employer (assigned in the amount of 1 PM, in 2024 - 43,407 tenge by the employer with whom the employee terminated the employment contract or entered into an additional agreement to the employment contract on changing working conditions);
4) pension benefit generated at the expense of COPC and (or) CPC from the UAPF with the consent of the above persons to receive them (the amount of pension benefits depends on the amount of pension savings in the UAPF).
The right to a special social benefit arises if the employee stops working in jobs with hazardous working conditions or is transferred to another job that excludes exposure to harmful production factors.
To receive a special social benefit for persons employed (working) in jobs with hazardous working conditions, it is necessary to submit an application to the employer for transfer to another job that excludes exposure to harmful production factors, or for termination of the employment contract. Information about the transfer of an employee to another job that excludes exposure to hazardous production factors, or about the termination of an employment contract from the employer is received in the information system of the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Based on this data, a proactive service will be provided to assign all types of the above payments included in the special social benefit. In this case, consent to receive pension benefits from the UAPF at the expense of COPC and CPC or only at the expense of COPC will need to be confirmed by replying to the corresponding SMS message sent from number 1414.
Thus, the recipient of a special pension benefit, after submitting an application to the employer, does not need to contact the Public Service Center or UAPF to receive a special pension benefit; it is enough to respond to an SMS message.
- for persons not employed (not working) in jobs with hazardous working conditions:
1) special occupational state allowance;
2) pension benefit generated at the expense of COPC and (or) CPC from the Unified Accumulative Pension Fund, subject to the consent of the above persons to receive them.
At the same time, persons who are no longer employed (not working) in jobs with hazardous working conditions as of the current year 2024, who have reached the age of 55, in whose favor the COPC of a total of at least 84 months have been paid, to receive a special occupational state benefit at the expense of the republican budget and pension benefits from the Unified Accumulative Pension Fund, you must submit a corresponding application to the Public Service Center at your place of residence. In the application for receiving payments you will need to indicate your consent to receive payments from UAPF.
Please note that the amount of assigned payments from three sources (from budget funds in the form of a special occupational state allowance, insurance benefit and occupational benefit at the expense of the employer) will increase annually in proportion to the increase in the cost of living, and will be carried out until the generally established retirement age is reached.
The amount of monthly pension benefits from the Unified Accumulative Pension Fund will be calculated based on the amount of pension savings generated both from the COPC and from the CPC.
In this case, the size of the monthly pension benefit from the UAPF is determined by multiplying the amount of pension savings at the expense of COPC, CPC (if there is consent to receive them) by 6.5% and dividing by 12. Annually, pension benefits from the UAPF will be indexed by 5% and made until exhaustion of pension savings.
