Benefits will not be canceled: how the wealth calculator works in eGov

Benefits recipients can independently find out the preliminary assessment of the welfare of their family through the “Welfare Assessment Calculator” in the eGov Mobile application, the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection of the Population of Kazakhstan reports. The service also shows what information is taken into account in the calculation. It is available in Kazakh, Russian and English, and can be used as many times as you like, for example, to double-check the data or recalculate the result.

After logging into the system, part of the information is automatically pulled up from state databases: gender and age of the user, cars, commercial transport, agricultural machinery, real estate, land and participation in business. This data is enough to check for relevance. The rest of the citizen fills himself. It is necessary to specify the family members living with him, their employment, disability or chronic diseases, loans and property. Houses, cars and land are listed separately for each family member, and the average monthly income of the family, including bonuses and allowances, is one amount.

The accuracy of the result depends on the completeness of the data entered. If you miss one of the relatives, income or property, the assessment may be incorrect. If the service shows outdated information, for example, already sold car, they can be corrected directly in the calculator. However, such changes are taken into account only in the preliminary calculation and do not change the information in state databases. To update the official data, you need to contact the authorized body through eGov.kz, eGov Mobile or the territorial department of the Committee for Regulation and Control in the Field of Social Protection of the Population at the place of residence.

Welfare calculators, which are distributed in social networks, are not official and can give false information. The correct calculation can be obtained only in eGov Mobile.

After reviewing the result, the user can note whether he agrees with him, give the service a rating on a five-point scale and leave a review. These responses help refine the calculator.

At the same time, the calculation is only reference in nature and is not a decision on payment. The result does not mean that the benefit will be granted, changed or terminated. Neither agreement or disagreement with the assessment, nor a revocation of its size and continuation of payments affect. The use of the calculator is also not considered a waiver of the allowance and cannot cause its cancellation or suspension.
