Kazakhstan to keep granting 22 of 36 state benefits regardless of family welfare category

From 1 January 2027, 22 of the 36 types of state benefits in Kazakhstan will continue to be granted without taking into account the family's welfare category. Labour and Social Protection Minister Askarbek Yertayev announced this at a briefing at the SCC, according to a Kazinform correspondent.

The original headline frames the change as applying regardless of family income levels. The report confirms the number of benefits and the start date, but it does not list the 22 benefits or explain the reasons for the decision.

No further quotes or figures from the briefing are included in the report.
