Monthly pension benefits according to the established schedule from the UAPF in accordance with the Social Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan are paid to persons who have reached retirement age (men - 63 years, women - 61 years), as well as persons with disabilities of groups 1 or 2, established indefinitely, who have pension savings in the UAPF, in the manner determined by the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

To receive pension benefits from the Unified Accumulative Pension Fund (UAPF) through compulsory pension contributions upon reaching retirement age, as well as to receive a basic and solidarity pension from the state budget, beneficiaries must promptly contact the State Corporation "Government for Citizens" (PSC) at their place of residence. This can be done 10 days before reaching retirement age. All pension payments are made from the date of application. The date of application is considered to be the date of registration of the application and required documents at the PSC, provided that the beneficiary has reached retirement age. If they applied earlier, the date of application is considered to be the date of reaching retirement age. It is important to remember that pension benefits from the state budget and from the UAPF will not be assigned for the missed period.     

It is also important to apply for pension benefits from the budget in a timely manner, as their assignment requires verification of the beneficiary's work history based on the documents submitted by the recipient.

It is worth noting that in order to provide a proactive service for pension benefits from the UAPF to individuals who have reached retirement age and who have pension savings in the UAPF but have not applied for their payment, the UAPF conducts an annual reconciliation with the State Corporation to determine whether these individuals have assigned old-age pension benefits and a state basic pension benefit from budgetary funds. Based on the results of the annual reconciliation, if individuals are identified who have assigned pension benefits from budgetary funds, the UAPF provides them with a proactive service (without an application) to make pension benefits to them under the relevant agreement concluded with the State Corporation, using the bank details provided by the beneficiaries at the Public Service Center when assigning old-age pension benefits.      

To receive a permanent payment of your pension savings due to a first or second group disability, you must contact the UAPF branch office either through your personal account on the website (enpf.kz) or in the UAPF mobile app using an electronic digital signature.

Please note that the UAPF offers on-site service for individuals with permanent first or second group disabilities. A preliminary consultation is provided, including verification of eligibility for receiving services remotely, without an on-site visit.

Pension benefits from the VPC can be started before reaching the generally established retirement age – starting at age 50. Furthermore, pension benefits from the VPC are provided to individuals with disabilities, regardless of the disability group or the duration of their disability.

An application for VPC payments due to age or disability can be submitted online through your personal account on the enpf.kz website. The payment schedule is determined by the contributor. It should be noted that pension benefits from the UAPF are paid until the pension savings are depleted.

It should be noted that pension benefit payments from the UAPF are made until the pension savings are depleted.
