Now expectant mothers in Kazakhstan can apply for maternity benefits directly in the Kaspi.kz mobile app. A new digital service has been launched in partnership with the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection of the Republic of Kazakhstan, reports infohub.kz.
Previously, to receive benefits, one had to visit a Public Service Center (TsON), submit documents, and wait in line. Now, applications can be submitted easily from a smartphone in the Kaspi.kz super app under the "Government Services" section.
Mikhail Lomtadze, head and co-founder of Kaspi.kz, noted: "We love creating services that make our customers' lives better. It's especially gratifying to work on services that help families during the most important moments of life. In Kaspi.kz, you can already get a birth certificate, receive child birth benefits, childcare benefits up to 1.5 years, as well as benefits for large families. Now expectant mothers will also be able to apply for maternity benefits. Thank you to government agencies for the opportunity to make government services even simpler and more accessible for Kazakhstanis together. And thank you to our beloved customers for their trust and for choosing Kaspi.kz every day!"
Bakhtiyar Zhazykpayev, Vice Minister of Labor and Social Protection of the Republic of Kazakhstan, emphasized: "The state is taking all measures to make assistance convenient and accessible. Our strategic goal is to rid citizens of paperwork and the need to visit government agencies, especially when it comes to pregnant women and mothers. Transferring one of the most popular services to a platform used daily by millions of Kazakhstanis is a clear example of how digitalization makes state support closer, simpler, and more timely for everyone."
More details on how to submit an online application for maternity benefits can be found in the Kaspi.kz mobile super app under the "Guide" service.
