Based on the results of this verification, the UAPF makes payments proactively, i.e., without an application.Furthermore, starting in March 2026, a similar, non-application pension benefit paymentt procedure has been introduced through voluntary pension contributions (VPC) for individuals who have reached retirement age and who have pension savings in the UAPF through VPC, but who have not previously applied to the UAPF for payment due to reaching the age of fifty or disability.The non-application pension benefit payment procedure through VPC (if any) provides for:automatic assignment of UAPF pension payments through the VPC when applying to the State Corporation in the prescribed manner with applications for a pension from the state budget and payments through compulsory pension contributions and/or compulsory occupational pension contributions in connection with reaching retirement age;making payments through the VPC as part of a proactive service.To receive a disability payment upon reaching age 50 through the VPC, please contact UAPF offices or through your personal account on the UAPF website (enpf.kz) or the UAPF mobile app using an electronic digital signature.Please note that UAPF offers on-site services for individuals with disabilities.
