Benefits and payments for the loss of a breadwinner

Two payment types for the loss of a breadwinner are envisaged for 2026 in Kazakhstan: state social benefit (from state budget) and social payment (from State Social Insurance Fund (SSIF), if the deceased was officially employed).

The right to receive a survivor's benefit arises from the date of:

• death as indicated on the death certificate or notice;
• a court decision that has entered into legal force declaring the breadwinner missing or deceased.
