More than 293 thousand people received payments from the State Social Insurance Fund due to job losses in 2024.
Dismissed employees receive social benefits for job loss from 1 to 6 months, depending on the length of service in the compulsory social insurance system and income for the last 24 months. The payment is made at the expense of the State Social Insurance Fund in the amount of up to 45% of the lost income.
To assign a payment to a dismissed employee, it is necessary:
- log in to the portal eGov.kz;
- in the "Employment and employment" section, select the "Registration of job seekers" service;
- order the service online by filling in all the fields, and send an application by signing its EDS;
- within one day, the Career Center (CC) at the applicant's place of residence will offer vacancies;
- if a job is not found, the status of unemployed will be assigned remotely within 3 working days (if necessary, an employee of the CC will contact the applicant to collect additional information).
This online service can also be obtained through the electronic labor exchange (enbek.kz ).
If there is information about registration as an unemployed person, the information system of the Ministry of Health will send an SMS to a mobile phone for consent to provide services for the purpose of payment from the State Social Insurance Fund in a proactive format. If you agree, you must reply to the message. The payment will be made automatically.
Recall that the social payment in case of job loss at the expense of the State Social Insurance Fund is carried out regardless of the reasons for dismissal and is intended to support an unemployed person during the period when he is looking for work.
According to the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection of the Population of the Republic of Kazakhstan
