At the same time, 42.7% of services for social benefits in case of disability and 49% for loss of employment are provided in a composite format, ie the application for benefits is made after the medical and social examination departments determine the degree of total disability or Mandatory social. The participant of the insurance system is automatically sent to the Social Insurance Fund after registration as unemployed at the Employment Center.
Today, with the development of digital technologies, the most convenient way to receive services is to assign social benefits in a proactive format that does not require a citizen’s application.
To receive the service in a proactive format, the recipient must respond to the received sms-notification about the registration of any service. In the first half of this year, the SSS provided 49.8 thousand proactive services.
In addition, in the presence of an electronic digital signature, participants in the compulsory social insurance system can apply for social benefits from the Social Insurance Fund through the portal egov.kz. In the first half of 2021, 48.3 thousand services were provided through the e-government portal.
Also, in 2021, the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection of the Republic of Kazakhstan launched a project to service employment centers through the Electronic Labor Exchange to simplify the procedures for registration of the unemployed and the receipt of public services for the payment of unemployment benefits. A total of 8.6 thousand people received payments through the portal Enbek.kz.
The amount of social benefits at the time of social risks depends on the amount of social contributions to the fund. In this regard, the Social Insurance Fund offers regular monitoring of social contributions paid to participants in the compulsory social insurance system through the portal egov.kz.
