UAPF JSC informs persons who have reached the retirement age (men-63 years and older, women-59.5 years and older in 2020), who have pension savings in the Fund and have not applied for pension payments, about the right to receive pension payments from the UAPF. We pay special attention to women who turned 59.5 years old in the past year. If they don't apply for payment by the end of the year, they will only be able to do so at 60 next year. As you know, according to the law "on pension provision in the Republic of Kazakhstan", the retirement age of women increases by six months every year and in 2027 will be equal to the age of men.
We remind you that pension payments from the UAPF are established from the date of the recipient's request and are carried out until the pension savings are exhausted. To submit a single application in connection with reaching the retirement age, you must contact the NAO " state Corporation "Government for citizens" in accordance with the schedule of work of the State Corporation at any convenient time. In this case, you can submit an application 10 days before the retirement age.
On the basis of a single application, the recipient will also be provided with a proactive service for the payment of a state guarantee (the difference between the amount of mandatory pension contributions actually made, mandatory professional pension contributions, taking into account the level of inflation, and the amount of pension savings).
The UAPF transfers to the state Corporation the amounts of pension payments of recipients calculated in accordance with the provisions of the legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
The amount of the monthly pension payment is defined as one-twelfth of the annual amount of pension payments calculated in accordance with the methodology for calculating the amount of pension payments approved by the decree of the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan dated 02.10.2013 No. 1042.
At the same time, the calculated amount of the monthly pension payment is paid in the amount of at least 54 percent of the subsistence minimum established for the corresponding financial year by the law on the Republican budget (in 2020, from 01.04.2020 – 17,640.72 tenge = 54% * 32,668).
If the amount of pension savings on the date of application does not exceed twelve times the minimum pension established by the law on the Republican budget for the corresponding financial year, this amount is paid to the recipient from the UAPF at a time (in 2020 from 01.04.2020 – 485,292 tenge = 12 * 40,441).
If the balance of pension savings on the recipient's IPS after making the next monthly payment amounts to less than 54 percent of the subsistence minimum established for the corresponding financial year by the law on the Republican budget, this balance is paid together with the amount of the next payment.
Payments from budget funds and pension savings from the UAPF are made by the State Corporation on one day and to one Bank account of the recipient specified in the application.
In addition we inform you that pension savings payments from the UAPF are currently also made in the following cases:
departure for permanent residence outside the Republic of Kazakhstan;
establishment of disability group I or II indefinitely;
for burial and inheritance;
at the expense of voluntary pension contributions - upon reaching the age of fifty, as well as the establishment of disability.
