Let us recall that according to the "National Fund for Children" program, 50% of the investment income of the National Fund of the Republic of Kazakhstan is distributed once a year among children who are citizens of the Republic of Kazakhstan, who were born in 2006 and later. For 2023, all recipients of the TS were credited with USD100.52, for 2024 - USD129.38. Children who received the first funds from the National Fund in 2023, with the exception of those born in 2006, were credited with investment income in the amount of USD3.04 this year. As a result, the target savings of a child born in 2006 are USD100.52, and for a child born in 2007 - USD232.94.

Adult citizens must independently obtain information about their TS through their personal account on the UAPF or e-government Internet resources, and then contact an authorized operator to open a bank account in US dollars and submit an online application for payment of TS to improve housing conditions and (or) pay for education.
