Around 633.4 billion tenge has been disbursed to Kazakh citizens as benefits and social payments for disability and loss of breadwinner.

As of December 1, 2024, the number of recipients of state social assistance for disability is approximately 539.5 thousand people, and for the loss of a breadwinner, it is around 188.3 thousand people.

The amounts of state social benefits for disability depend on the group and cause of disability, as well as the level of the minimum subsistence set by the law "On the Republican Budget" for the respective financial year.

The amounts of state social benefits for the loss of a breadwinner depend on the number of dependents of the deceased (or killed) breadwinner, the cause of death, and the level of the minimum subsistence.

Additionally, participants in the mandatory social insurance system receive social payments from the State Fund for Social Security (GFSS) in case of social risks. As of December 1, 2024, a social payment for loss of capacity to work was received by 101.1 thousand people, while a social payment for the loss of a breadwinner was received by approximately 67.2 thousand families.

The amounts of payments are individualized and depend on: the average monthly income from which social contributions to the GFSS were made over the last 2 years, coefficients of loss of capacity to work, the number of dependents, the length of participation in the mandatory social insurance system, and income replacement.

These payments are made in addition to similar benefits paid from the republican budget.

From January 1, 2024, the amounts of state social benefits for disability and for the loss of a breadwinner have been increased by 7% due to the rise in the minimum subsistence level. By the decision of the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the amounts of payments from the GFSS for loss of capacity to work and for loss of a breadwinner were also increased by 7%.

Thus, in the current year, the amounts of state social assistance for disability due to general illness are as follows: for group 1 – 95,496 tenge, for group 2 – 76,397 tenge, and for group 3 – 52,089 tenge.
