Citizens of Kazakhstan that work in hazardous conditions and have reached 55 years of age and have at least 84 months of compulsory professional pension contributions are eligible for a special social payment. This payment will include the insurance benefit under pre-retirement annuity insurance contract in the amount of one subsistence rate monthly.

The payments will continue until retirement age. To receive special payments, the employee must leave a hazardous job. They can either switch to light work and receive wages and benefits, or go on vacation and receive payments until retirement. To receive special payments, one must be 55 years old and have pension contributions for the last 7 years.
