- women upon reaching the age of 61 (this age limit is valid until 2028);

- men upon reaching the age of 63;

- persons with a disability of the first or second group, if the disability is established indefinitely.

To assign pension benefits that include the state pension - this is the basic and solidary, and funded from the UAPF, old-age pensioners just need to apply with one application and a package of documents to the units of the State Corporation "Government for Citizens" (PSC).

Persons with a disability of the first or second group, if the disability is established indefinitely, must apply to the UAPF branch or through the Fund's website. In your personal account, you need to select the section "Services" - "Submit an application for the appointment of pension benefits." There you can find a detailed list of required documents. The day of circulation is the date of receipt or receipt of documents by the UAPF.

Pension benefits from the UAPF are established from the date of application and are made until the pension savings are exhausted. In this case, the day of applying for a pension benefit is considered:

• for beneficiaries who have reached retirement age - the day the application was registered with the State Corporation or the date when the right to pension payments from the UAPF arises;

• for beneficiaries who are persons with disabilities of the first or second group, if the disability is established indefinitely - the date of receipt or receipt of documents by the UAPF.

UAPF transfers the amounts of pension benefits of beneficiaries:

• who are persons with disabilities of the first or second group, if the disability is established indefinitely - within ten working days from the date of receipt or receipt of documents by the UAPF;

• those who have reached retirement age - to the State Corporation in accordance with the schedules of pension benefits established by the State Corporation.

The State Corporation transfers the amounts of pension benefits received from the UAPF to the bank accounts of beneficiaries in accordance with the schedule of pension benefits established by the State Corporation, but not earlier than the date when the right to pension payments from the UAPF arises.

People who go abroad for permanent residence can also claim payments from the UAPF at the expense of compulsory pension contributions and compulsory occupational pension contributions. To do this, they need to apply to the migration police, obtain the status of “departure for permanent residence” there, then obtain citizenship of another state. After the correct registration of the departure, the traveler must apply with a package of documents to the UAPF, which will make a pension benefit within 10 working days from the date of receipt or receipt of documents by the UAPF.

Please note that payments of pension savings are made only to the beneficiary's bank account and can be requested by the beneficiary in any currency: in tenge, Russian rubles, euros, US dollars or pounds sterling.

More detailed information, including a list of required documents, is also available on the UAPF website.
