To assign pension benefits from the UAPF in connection with reaching retirement age, beneficiaries must promptly contact the Public Service Center at their place of residence, and for payment in connection with the establishment of disability of the first or second group indefinitely - to the UAPF divisions, including through the UAPF website if there is an electronic digital signatures. Documents can be submitted to the Public Service Center along with the application 10 days before the beneficiary reaches retirement age. We strongly recommend that you adhere to this deadline, because this is especially important for receiving a state pension, the assignment of which requires verification of work experience based on the submitted documents. In addition, according to the law, the assignment of old-age pensions and state basic benefits is made from the date of application. Such a day is considered the day of registration of the application and necessary documents in the Government for Citizens State Corporation (hereinafter referred to as the State Corporation, PSC)
Let us remind you that people who have reached the generally established retirement age can receive an old-age pension: men upon reaching 63 years of age, women upon reaching 61 years of age in 2024. Pension benefits from the UAPF are made until pension savings are exhausted.
Meanwhile, in order to provide proactive services for making pension benefits from the UAPF to persons who have reached retirement age, have pension savings in the UAPF and have not applied for their payment, the UAPF conducts an annual reconciliation together with the State Corporation to determine whether these citizens have assigned pension benefits according to age and state basic pension benefit from budget funds.
Based on the results of the annual reconciliation, when identifying persons who have assigned pension benefits from budgetary funds, the UAPF makes pension benefit payments to them within the framework of the relevant agreement concluded with the State Corporation.
Thus, according to the results of the annual reconciliation as of March 1 of this year, out of about 200 thousand persons who have reached retirement age, have pension savings in the UAPF and have not applied for their payment, according to the State Corporation:
· about 45 thousand people are not recipients of old-age pension benefits/basic pension;
· about 92 thousand people are recipients of pension benefits based on age/basic pension/long service at the expense of budgetary funds, of which:
- about 20 thousand citizens this year independently submitted applications to the Public Service Center at their place of residence for a pension benefit from the Unified Accumulative Pension Fund;
- about 72 thousand citizens were assigned pension benefits from the UAPF in a proactive format based on the results of reconciliation;
· about 63 thousand people have left for permanent residence outside the Republic of Kazakhstan or have died.
Thus, according to the results of the above reconciliation, the UAPF during March-April of this year paid pension benefits from the UAPF to about 72 thousand citizens without their contacting the Public Service Center in a proactive format.
