Thanks to the introduction of the Digital Family Card (hereinafter referred to as the CCS), since the beginning of 2024, more than 464.4 thousand people have received SMS for the proactive provision of public services. At the same time, 202.4 thousand people took advantage of the opportunity to receive benefits or payments without any declaration.The digital family card is formed on the basis of data from all existing information systems of government agencies. To date, it has accumulated information about 20 million citizens of Kazakhstan, or more than 6 million families.The main goal of the CCS implementation is to ensure equal access of Kazakhstanis to the state support system. In this regard, in the Social Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the Digital Family Card is designated as a tool for determining medium- and long-term tasks and directions of social policy. The Central Committee is also a daily "electronic notifier" of citizens about their rights to receive one or another type of guaranteed state support, depending on their social status.Currently, the CCC gives Kazakhstanis who are eligible to receive state support measures the opportunity to apply for 10 types of benefits and social benefits without any requests: social security payment in case of disability; social security payment in case of job loss; social security payment or survivor's allowance; allowance to a parent (guardian) raising a child with a disability; allowance disability benefits; allowance for large families; allowance for mothers with many children awarded with "Altyn alka" and "Kumis alka" pendants; targeted social assistance, as well as a one-time payment for burial.Also, automatic notifications on the possibility of receiving pension payments, the expiration date of the assigned/extended status of "kandas" and employment measures for unemployed persons have been implemented through the Central Committee.When establishing the right to receive state support measures, an SMS notification from the unified contact center 1414 is sent to the potential recipient. A citizen who has received an SMS must respond to it with consent. The application and the appointment of social benefits or payments will be made automatically, followed by the transfer of funds to the recipient's bank account.In order to eliminate the risk of fraud, we emphasize that it is necessary to respond to SMS messages received from the unified contact center 1414.If you have any questions, please contact the Call Center at 1414.
