Payments of pension savings from the UAPF according to schedule: how they are calculated and where to apply 30.03.2025
Who is entitled to receive pension savings benefit payments according to the schedule?Monthly pension benefit payments according to the established schedule from the UAPF in accordance with the Social Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan are made to persons who have reached retirement age (men - 63 years, women - 61 years), as well as persons with disabilities of group 1 or 2, established indefinitely, who have pension savings in the UAPF, in the manner determined by the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan. How are pension benefits calculated according to the schedule? Pension benefits are calculated according to the schedule as follows: in the first year of receiving benefits, the amount of pension savings is multiplied by the pension savings payment rate of 6.5% and divided by 12. In subsequent years, the amount of the monthly pension benefit is increased by the pension benefit indexation rate of 5%. In this case, the monthly pension benefit from the UAPF is paid in the amount of at least 70% of the subsistence minimum (hereinafter - SM) established for the relevant financial year by the law on the republican budget (in 2025, the SM is 46,228 tenge).For beneficiaries of certain categories: persons with disabilities of groups 1 or 2, established indefinitely, as well as those who worked in hazardous industries, whose savings are formed through compulsory occupational pension contributions in total for at least sixty months, the Methodology provides for correction factors that increase the amount of the monthly pension benefit. For persons who meet more than one of the above conditions, the correction factor with the highest value is applied.If the amount of pension savings on the date of payment from the UAPF does not exceed twelve times the minimum pension established by the law on the republican budget for the relevant financial year (in 2025, 753,252 tenge = 62,771x12), the payment is made in a lump sum. Where and when to apply for payment of pension savings from the UAPF? To assign pension benefit payments from the Unified Accumulative Pension Fund at the expense of mandatory types of pension contributions in connection with reaching the retirement age, as well as the assignment of a basic and solidarity pension from the state budget, beneficiaries must promptly contact the Government for Citizens State Corporation (CSC) at their place of residence. This can be done 10 days before reaching the retirement age. All types of pension benefit payments are made from the date of application. In this case, the day of application is considered to be the day of registration of the application and the necessary documents in the CSC, provided that the beneficiary has reached the retirement age, if he applied earlier - the day of application is considered to be the day of reaching the retirement age. Timely application is especially important for receiving benefit payments from the budget, for the assignment of which it is necessary to verify the work experience based on the documents submitted by the beneficiary.             In addition, please note that future pensioners (potential beneficiaries), whose phone numbers are registered in the egov mobile citizens database, are sent an SMS notification from number 1414 2 months before reaching retirement age about the possibility of timely contacting the nearest branch of the State Corporation to receive services for the appointment of pension benefits with a link to the list of documents on the egov.kz website. That is, government agencies send out relevant notifications to process pension benefits within the specified timeframes, since payments are not assigned for the missed period.It is also worth noting that in order to provide a proactive service for making pension benefit payments from the UAPF to persons who have reached retirement age, who have pension savings in the UAPF and have not applied for their payment, the UAPF conducts an annual reconciliation together with the State Corporation to determine whether these citizens have assigned pension  benefit payments by age and a state basic pension benefit at the expense of budgetary funds. Based on the results of the annual reconciliation, when identifying persons who have assigned pension benefits at the expense of budgetary funds, the UAPF makes pension benefit payments to them within the framework of the relevant agreement concluded with the State Corporation, i.e. without an application.For payment of pension savings in connection with the establishment of a disability of the first or second group for an indefinite period, you must contact the UAPF divisions either through your personal account on the website (UAPF.kz) or in the UAPF mobile application using an electronic digital signature.Please note that the UAPF has organized on-site service for persons with a disability of the first or second group established for an indefinite period. In this case, a preliminary consultation is carried out, including a check on the possibility of receiving services remotely, without leaving.It should be noted that pension benefits from the UAPF are paid until the pension savings are exhausted.On the enpf.kz website, in the section "Services - Pension benefits - Payments according to schedule", there is a list of necessary documents depending on the type of pension benefit payments, the method of their submission, requirements for their execution, application forms and samples of their completion, a sample power of attorney. In the "Online services" section, it is possible to pre-check the documents sent for pension benefits from the UAPF. Consulting services of the UAPF can be obtained through messengers (chat bot on WhatsApp and Viber at +7 777 000 14 18), call center at 1418 (calls within Kazakhstan are free), on the corporate website enpf.kz, as well as on the official pages of the UAPF on social networks Instagram, Facebook, VKontakte, X (Twitter), Telegram, Odnoklassniki.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/akimat-beyneu/press/news/details/965118?lang=kk

Ibragim Magomedov brought Kazakhstan the first medal of the Asian Wrestling Championship! 30.03.2025
The continental championship takes place from March 25 to March 30 in the capital of Jordan - Amman. Competitions are held in Greco-Roman, women's and freestyle wrestling.For a long time, Iran has dominated this type of martial arts in the Asian arena, but in recent years, Japan has increasingly regained its leadership position. At the 2024 Olympic Games, representatives of this country won eight gold medals, and, perhaps, according to experts, they will be the best in Jordan in the team competition.But, of course, we are rooting for our people! The Asian Championship began with a Greco-Roman wrestling competition. And the first medal in this form was brought to Kazakhstan by Karaganda athlete Ibragim Magomadov. In the 77 kg weight category, our countryman was stronger than Amro Sadeh (Jordan) in the fight for third place. As a result, Magomadov won the bronze medal. Congratulations to the wrestler and his coaches! And we hold our fists for our legendary Elmira Syzdykova, who is already competing for medals at the Asian Championship in women's wrestling.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/karaganda-sport/press/news/details/963082?lang=kk
Kazakhstan plans to expand the powers of rural akims 30.03.2025
In accordance with the instructions of the Head of State, direct elections of mayors of rural districts have been introduced in the country. From 2021 to 2024, 2,641 akims were elected, with about 70% of them taking up this position for the first time. In total, more than 97% of rural akims have already been elected. This was announced by Vice Minister of National Economy of the Republic of Kazakhstan Bauyrzhan Omarbekov at the CCS site.Also, according to him, the Academy of Public Administration under the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan and the Amanat Party, with the assistance of the Ministry, have developed a retraining program for akims of cities of regional significance, villages, towns and rural districts. The main objectives of the project are to effectively address local government issues and ensure sustainable socio-economic development by improving the professional and managerial competencies of akims. Based on the results of the training, participants will develop programs for the economic development of rural districts. Currently, 1,815 rural akims from 17 regions of the country are being trained under the program.In addition, in order to expand the powers of rural district akims, the following measures are proposed::- grant akims the right to hire employees within the framework of an employment contract according to the established remuneration system for civil servants;- allow the purchase of special equipment and agricultural machinery with the right to provide paid services to the public;- expand the powers of akims and their offices to monitor street trade, improve public places, control the use of playgrounds, provide paid services and other issues."These innovations will be further worked out with the deputies of the Mazhilis of Parliament," the speaker added. Another pressing issue, as Bauyrzhan Omarbekov noted, is the expansion of sources of income for the rural budget. Currently, the revenues of the 4 levels of the budget are generated by 8 types of tax revenues and various revenues from the district budget, fines and transfers. Since the introduction of income level 4, income has doubled. So, by the end of 2023, the planned budget revenues of the 4th level amounted to 308 billion tenge, but actually 320 billion tenge was received, which is 103.8% higher than the plan. At the same time, the Vice Minister stressed the need to increase the financial independence of rural budgets.In this regard, it is proposed to expand the revenue sources of the rural districts budget by transferring the following revenues:- parts of the property tax on legal entities and individual entrepreneurs;- fees for the use of water resources;- license fee for the right to engage in certain types of activities;- payments for the use of licenses for certain types of activities.In addition, as part of the new draft Budget Code, it is planned to transfer a tax on the extraction of common minerals to the Tier IV budget.Thus, the level IV budget's own revenues are expected to increase 4 times – from 68 billion tenge to 263 billion tenge.Work on expanding the revenue sources of rural budgets will continue. https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/economy/press/news/details/963078?lang=ruSource : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kostanai-ekonomika-zhosparlau/press/news/details/964454?lang=kk
