From February 1, 2024, to July 1, 2026, 333,809 applications for a total of approximately $62.71 million were processed. Funds were transferred to authorized operators for subsequent deposit into applicants' bank accounts.
Among the processed applications, housing improvements were the most numerous: 216,060 applications for over $41.01 million. Education funding received 117,749 applications for $21.69 million.
As a reminder, recipients of targeted savings (TS) have the right to use the entire amount or a portion of it. Any unclaimed funds remain in the targeted savings account (TSA) for 10 years. After this period, the unused balance is transferred to the recipient's individual pension savings account to account for voluntary pension contributions.
The most popular housing improvement program was replenishing housing construction savings for further accumulation (211,474 applications completed, totaling approximately $40.25 million). Funds were also used as down payments for mortgage loans to purchase housing (1,583 applications, totaling $269,480), and for the purpose of acquiring housing through civil law transactions (final settlements), totaling 1,081 applications, totaling $177,790.
Within the scope of the CTD program for education, the largest amount of funds was allocated to pay for educational services at educational institutions located in the Republic of Kazakhstan, either in installments (for each academic period or academic year) or in full (for the entire term of study) (108,782 applications, totaling approximately $20.36 million, were completed). The following areas were also in demand: replenishment of an educational savings deposit under an agreement on an educational savings deposit (6,153 applications were completed for a total of approximately 894.12 thousand US dollars), payment for educational services of foreign educational organizations in installments (for each academic period or academic year) or in full at one time (for the entire period of study) (2,175 applications were completed for a total of 335.33 thousand US dollars).
Detailed information on social security payments for the purpose of improving housing conditions and/or paying for education, broken down by authorized operators and regions, is available on the enpf.kz website.
Let us recall that based on the results of 2025, Kazakhstani children received the next payment in the amount of 130.71 US dollars per child, for 2024 - 129.38 US dollars, and for 2023 - 100.52 US dollars.
Children under 18 receive annual payments from the National Fund as targeted benefits. According to law, the amounts accrued to young Kazakhstanis remain part of the National Fund's assets and continue to be invested. Through continued investment, each child's targeted benefit amount increases annually through the investment income received.
As a result, the total accumulated target requirement (including the annually accrued investment income) for a child participating in the program:
- three years, $370.56;
- two years, $263.93;
- one year, $130.71.
Parents and other legal representatives can check the child's under 18 participation in the program using their child's IIN on the website kids.enpf.kz, in their personal account on the eGov.kz e-government portal, and in the eGov Mobile and select second-tier bank mobile apps.
If information about target benefits accrued to children for the 2025 reporting year is not displayed, you must update your documents in your mobile apps by following this path:
- in the eGov Mobile app: "Digital Documents" - "Family" - "Update Document List" - "Accruals from the National Fund";
- in second-tier bank mobile apps, such as Kaspi.kz: "Gosuslugi" - "All Documents" - "Update Document List" - "Accruals from the National Fund."
The absence of information about the accrual of target benefits for children who have reached or will reach the age of 18 this year in the legal representative's personal account is due to the fact that target benefits have acquired the status of TS, and therefore access to information about them is provided directly to the TS recipient (a citizen who has reached or will reach the age of 18 in 2026). These individuals must independently obtain information about their TS through their personal account on the UAPF or e-government websites. Upon reaching the age of 18, they can contact an authorized operator to open a US dollar bank account and submit an online application for TS payment to improve their housing conditions and/or pay for education.
Currently, the following are authorized operators:
- Otbasy Bank JSC (for housing and education),
- Halyk Bank JSC (for education),
- Bank CenterCredit JSC (for education).
Statistics on minor children eligible for targeted assistance and adult recipients of the TS, as well as on the use of the TS for housing and/or education, can be found on the enpf.kz website.
