Hello, for a long time I worked at the bazaar informally and received a salary “on hand”. Of course, I didn’t have a pension agreement and an account, and now I got a job in one company, but they told me that I did not need to open a contract at the UAPF, why?
For the past year, the procedure for opening a pension account in the Unified Accumulative Pension Fund has been simplified. From January 8, 2019, in accordance with the amendments to the Law on Pension of the Republic of Kazakhstan, an individual does not need to contact the UAPF service offices to open an individual pension account (IPA) to account for mandatory pension contributions (OPV). An account is opened automatically upon receipt of a down payment. In this case, the identification of an individual is carried out according to personal data (full name, IIN, date of birth) specified in the electronic format of the payment order when transferring the OPV, and the UAPF receives all the necessary information about the details of the current identification document of the individual from the place of permanent residence from information systems of government. Thus, last year alone, using the automated process in 2019, about 400 thousand OPV accounts were opened.
Good afternoon, recently after a heart attack I was given a second disability group. Can they give me all my savings at one time for treatment?
According to the Law on Pensions in the RK currently in force, the right to receive pension payments from the UAPF comes under certain conditions, including in the case of the establishment of disabilities of groups 1 and 2 for an unlimited time. Thus, if the disability of group 2 is fixed indefinitely, you can receive pension payments from the UAPF only monthly on the established schedule.
Now, on behalf of the President of Kazakhstan Kassym-Zhomart Tokayev, a specially created working group under the Government is considering various options for using pension savings for other purposes, in addition to pension payments, in particular, the issuance of part of the savings for medical purposes. However, at the moment, a decision on this issue has not been made.
My aunt lives in a remote village, where there is no your branch, to go to the district center very far, how can she get advice?
To provide pension services to remote settlements of the country, the UAPF is introducing new projects. For example, “Mobile Office”. This is a modern minibus, which is equipped with everything necessary for servicing investors, including modern satellite communications. Residents of remote settlements can receive the same services in the Mobile Office as in UAPF branches, in particular, receive an account statement or apply for transferring pension savings to an insurance company, open an individual pension account for voluntary pension contributions, change the way informing and much more. At the moment, “Mobile Offices” are operating in Almaty, Atyrau, Kostanai, Karaganda, Kyzylorda, Aktobe, Akmola, Zhambyl, Pavlodar and North Kazakhstan regions. This year, it is additionally planned to introduce “Mobile Offices” in three more areas: East Kazakhstan, West Kazakhstan and Turkestan.
In addition, you can use the vast network of Kazpost branches. After conducting training for Kazpost operators, in 220 offices of the postal operator you can also receive the services of UAPF JSC. Settlements in Akmola, Aktobe, Almaty, Atyrau, East Kazakhstan, Zhambyl, West Kazakhstan, Karaganda, Kyzylorda, Kostanay, Mangystau, Pavlodar, North Kazakhstan and Turkestan regions are connected to the provision of services through Kazpost. A complete list of all settlements can be found on the site enpf.kz (https://www.enpf.kz/ru/services/kazpost/index.php). If your relative lives in these settlements, then she will be able to receive the following services there: submitting applications for changing (supplementing) additional details of the depositor; signing of an agreement on changing (determining) the method of informing (including for gaining access to the UAPF JSC services in electronic format).
