As a reminder, under the "National Fund for Children" program, 50% of the investment income from the National Fund of the Republic of Kazakhstan is distributed annually among children of the Republic of Kazakhstan citizens born in 2006 or later. All recipients of the National Fund were awarded $100.52 in 2023 and $129.38 in 2024. Children who received their first National Fund payments in 2023, with the exception of those born in 2006, were awarded $3.04 as an investment income this year. As a result, the target savings for a child born in 2006 are $100.52, and for a child born in 2007, $232.94.

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