The system of compulsory social insurance in Kazakhstan is considered as another form of Social Security for working citizens in the event of social risk. Employers make social contributions to the State Social Insurance Fund (SPSS) for their employees. And if the conditions specified in the social code of the Republic of Kazakhstan arise, the participant of the system has the right to receive an appropriate social payment.
However, as information regarding social benefits increases, there are also false proposals aimed at deceiving citizens. In social networks, there are ads "we will issue a payment", "we will extend the payment for childcare", "we will issue unemployment benefits".
The Ministry of Labor and social protection of the population of the Republic of Kazakhstan urges citizens to treat such proposals with caution. To receive a social benefit, you do not need to resort to the help of intermediaries in the social network. Its procedure is clearly defined in the social code.
According to the SPSIF, in January–August 2026, 1 million tenge was allocated. 64 thousand people received social benefits. The total amount of payments is about 527 billion rubles. "no," he said.
The system of compulsory social insurance provides for payment for six social risks. These are cases of loss of working capacity, loss of a breadwinner, loss of work, loss of income in connection with pregnancy and childbirth, adoption of a newborn child (children), as well as loss of income in connection with the care of a child until he reaches the age of one and a half years. At the same time, it is important to know the requirements for each type of social payment.
The state pension fund has the right to check the information necessary for receiving payments and, if necessary, request additional information. Legal authorities and the state Social Security Agency also identify the facts of registration of fictitious Labor Relations.
Therefore, applying for a fake job on someone's advice, providing information that does not correspond to reality, as well as providing a fake document can cause problems for the citizen himself.
If the fact of illegal receipt of social benefits is established, the funds paid can be returned in the manner prescribed by law. And deliberately providing false information in order to receive payment is more likely to be regarded as fraud.
For example, in 2025, more than 30 criminal cases were initiated in connection with illegal receipt of social benefits in 12 regions of the country. Of these, 7 court sentences were issued in five regions. The investigation revealed that citizens were involved in illegal payment withdrawal schemes, believing in advertising on Instagram and other social networks.
Under the pretext of formalizing a social benefit, outsiders may request personal and financial details. Therefore, it is not allowed to transfer identity card data, bank card number, confidential information related to the bank, codes received by SMS, confidential information related to EDS and other personal data to a stranger.
You don't even need to pay money to an "intermediary" on a social network to receive a social benefit.
If someone asks for money or personal data, saying" I will quickly make a payment"," I will extend the payment "or" I will issue it with a guarantee", it is better not to trust such an offer.
It is better to get information about the mentioned social benefits only from official sources. The necessary information can be obtained from the official information systems of the Ministry of Labor and social protection of the population of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the state Social Security Service and egov.kz you can check on the digital government portal.
For additional questions, you can contact the Unified Contact Center 1414. The ministry also advises citizens to check information on social support measures on official resources.
The main thing is to be able to distinguish between advertising and official information on social networks. Social benefits paid to the state social support received by a citizen when faced with the risks specified in the social code. To get it, you do not need to look for an intermediary or pay someone.
