The mandatory social insurance system has been operating in Kazakhstan since January 1, 2005. Its primary objective is to provide additional protection to employed citizens in the event of social risks. Entitlement to such protection is established through an individual\u2019s participation in the system and the payment of social contributions by their employer on their behalf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Over more than 20 years, the system has undergone significant development. The mechanisms and parameters of social benefits have been improved, while electronic and proactive formats for delivering public services have been introduced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today, the State Social Insurance Fund (SSIF) provides social benefits in cases of loss of working capacity, loss of a breadwinner, and unemployment, as well as benefits supporting maternity and childcare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An important principle of the current social protection model is the combination of state social security and mandatory social insurance. Social benefits provided by the SSIF do not replace state social guarantees but complement them. As a result, when a social risk occurs, an employed citizen who has participated in the mandatory social insurance system receives an additional level of protection based on their previous employment and the social contributions paid on their behalf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This principle is particularly evident in two situations: loss of working capacity and loss of a breadwinner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In both cases, in addition to state social allowances financed from the national budget, participants in the system or their family members receive supplementary social benefits from the SSIF.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These two types of social benefits are particularly important because they provide long-term financial support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Social benefits for loss of working capacity are paid throughout the entire period during which the officially established degree of loss of working capacity remains valid, up to the recipient\u2019s retirement age. Continuing employment does not affect an individual\u2019s entitlement to these benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During the first nine months of 2026, a total of 97,600 people received social benefits for loss of working capacity, amounting to KZT 45.3 billion. Since the establishment of the system, KZT 338 billion has been allocated to benefits for loss of working capacity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Survivor benefits are provided to family members who were financially dependent on the deceased breadwinner. Payments continue until dependents reach the age of 18. If they continue their education on a full-time basis, benefits may be paid until they reach the age of 23.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thus, the right to social insurance protection established during a person\u2019s working life continues to provide financial support to their family members even after the breadwinner\u2019s death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Currently, 68,500 families receive survivor benefits under the mandatory social insurance system. The SSIF has allocated KZT 33.3 billion for these payments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since the system began operating, the SSIF has allocated a total of KZT 236 billion to survivor benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The ability to provide long-term financial support to individuals and their families is one of the most significant achievements of Kazakhstan\u2019s mandatory social insurance system over more than two decades of development.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
