Since the beginning of the year, about 560 billion tenge has been allocated from the republican budget for the payment of state social benefits (hereinafter referred to as GSP) for disability and survivor's loss. In addition, social payments for disability and loss of breadwinner in the amount of about 73.4 billion tenge were made from the State Social Insurance Fund (hereinafter referred to as the GFSS).
As of December 1, 2024, the number of recipients of GSP for disability is about 539.5 thousand people, in case of loss of the breadwinner – about 188.3 thousand people.
The amount of state social benefits for disability depends on the group and cause of disability, as well as on the minimum subsistence level established by the law "On the Republican Budget" for the relevant fiscal year.
The amount of state social benefits for the loss of a breadwinner depends on the number of dependents of the deceased breadwinner, the cause of death, and the minimum subsistence level.
In addition, participants in the compulsory social insurance system receive social security payments from the State Social Insurance Fund in the event of social risks. Thus, as of December 1, 2024, 101.1 thousand people received social benefits for disability, and about 67.2 thousand families received social benefits for loss of breadwinner.
The amount of payments is individual and depends on: the average monthly income from which social contributions were made to the State Social Insurance Fund over the past 2 years, disability coefficients, the number of dependents, length of service in the compulsory social insurance system and income replacement.
These payments are made in addition to similar benefits paid from the national budget.
Starting from January 1, 2024, the amount of state social benefits for disability and loss of breadwinner has been increased by 7% due to an increase in the subsistence level. According to the decision of the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the amount of payments from the State Social Insurance Fund for disability and loss of breadwinner was also increased by 7%.
So, this year, the size of the GSP for disability from a common disease is 95 496 tenge for group 1, 76 397 tenge for group 2, 52 089 tenge for group 3.
As of December 1, 2024, the average amount of social benefits for disability is 59,826 tenge, for loss of breadwinner – 64,619 tenge.
