As a reminder, Kazakhstani children received the next payment of $130.71 per child in 2025, $129.38 per child in 2024, and $100.52 per child in 2023.

Children under 18 receive annual payments from the National Fund as targeted benefits, which are recorded in their accounts opened with the UAPF. According to law, the amounts accrued to young Kazakhstanis remain part of the National Fund's assets and continue to be invested. Through continued investment, each child's targeted benefit amount increases annually through the investment income received.

As a result, the total amount of all accumulated target requirements (including the annually accrued investment income) for a child participating in the program:

- in the third year, was $370.56;

- in the second year, was $263.93;

- in the first year, was $130.71.

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

Currently, the following are authorized operators:

• Otbasy Bank JSC (for housing and education),
• Halyk Bank JSC (for education),
• Bank CenterCredit JSC (for education).

Statistics on minor children eligible for targeted benefits and adult recipients of targeted savings, as well as on the use of targeted savings for housing and/or education, can be found on the website enpf.kz.
