Deputy request regarding failures in the "E-halyk" system was commented in the Ministry of labor and social protection of population of RK.Information that the system "E-halyk" is not integrated with databases of other state bodies doesn’t correspond to reality.Reason for absence of information on addresses, house numbers, apartments is not in the absence of integration, but in the absence of information in the address register, which is formed and updated by local executive bodies (office of architecture and urban planning).Data on the composition of the family are provided automatically "Registration of acts of civil status" IS, which is also filled by LEB (departments of registration of acts of civil status). For example, information on children born before 13 August 2007 is not available in the above system.Taking into account that not all information systems of state bodies contain exhaustive information, the Ministry provided in the Rules of providing the ASA with a written request by employees of the employment center to the relevant state body, as well as the right of the applicant to provide documents independently.Today "E-halyk" IS is integrated with the information systems of state bodies necessary for the purpose of address social assistance:1.         "Address register" IS;2.         "Registration of acts of civil status" IS;3.         "individuals" SDB;4.         AIS "BEP" (alimony); 5.         "Unified data store" IS (data about entrepreneurial activity);6.         "Real estate register" SDB;7.         IS MLSPP (Income in the form of social payments, wages).Integration with information resources is implemented in offline mode:1.         IS of the MAC on animal husbandry, agricultural machinery, land plot;2.         IS of the MES on students;3.         IS of the MH RK on socially significant diseases, pregnant women and attachment to the clinic.Thus, the examples and arguments voiced in the Deputy's request regarding the absence of integration and failures in the work of "E-halyk" IS are incorrect and untenable.For today, the system is fully functional, acceptance of applications is carried out through it in working order. If there is full information in the databases of state bodies, the appointment of the ASA is carried out on one identity document.At the same time, the Ministry together with local executive bodies regularly carries out necessary information and explanatory work both among the population, and among employees of managements and employment centers. There is a 24-hour call-center "111", where you can get advice on the appointment of ASA, online calculator for ASA calculation, manuals have been developed and distributed, a number of press conferences and interviews was held. All the necessary information is brought to the population through the media and social networks.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/enbek/press/news/details/19647?lang=kk

The average capita income for each family member is calculated: 150 000 divided by 8 people = 18 750 KZT. Accordingly, the family fits the criteria for the provision of ASA.Calculation of ASA size for children: 20 789 KZT *6 children = 124 734 KZT.Calculation of ASA size for parents 20 789 KZT. – 18 750 KZT = 2 039 KZT;2 039*2 = 4 078 KZT.  Total size of ASA 124 734 KZT + 4 078 KZT = 128 812 KZT.If earlier this family did not fit the criterion of providing ASA, then from 1 April 2019 it is entitled to receive address social assistance in the amount of 128 812 KZT.Thus, the total income of the family with the new address social assistance will be: 176 664 KZT. + 128 812 KZT = 305 476 KZT7) Is the income from the personal subsidiary farm taken into account when calculating the total income of the family?  Yes, income from the personal subsidiary farm is taken into account in determining the total income of the family.
