How is the amount of social payment in case of loss of income in connection with caring for a child upon reaching the age of one and half years (SBcc) determined?

The size of the SBcc is determined by the formula:       

SBcc = AMI * IRR, where:

AMI - the average monthly income of a participant in the compulsory social insurance system for the last 24 months preceding the month of the birth of a child, adoption (adoption) of a newborn child (children);

AMI = (MI 1+ MI 2+MI 3.......+ MI 24) / 24, where:

MI - monthly income accounted for as an object of calculation of social contributions (hereinafter - SC) (income minus income from which SS are not paid, including mandatory pension contributions (hereinafter - MPC )).

IRR - income replacement ratio is 0.4. 

Example

Suppose a member of the compulsory social insurance system for 2 years before the birth of a child: 

the first year salary - 150,000 tenge (object of calculating SC excluding MPC = 150,000 tenge - 15,000 tenge = 135,000 tenge),

the second year, salary - 200,000 tenge (object of calculating SC excluding MPC = 200,000 tenge - 20,000 tenge = 180,000 tenge)).

Incomes for each month are determined on the basis of the SC received by the State Social Insurance Fund from the SC calculation object. 

Amount of income for 24 months: 12 months. * 135 000 tenge + 12 months. * 180,000 tenge = 3,780,000 tenge. 

The amount received is divided by 24: AMI = 3,780,000 tenge / 24 = 157,500 tenge.

Income Replacement Rate (IRR) = 0.4

SBcc = AMI * IRR = 157,500 tenge * 0.4 = 63,000 tenge

Of the specified amount, 10% of the MPC 6,300 tenge is withheld and transferred to the beneficiary's account in the Unified Accumulative Pension Fund. If the recipient is a person with a disability of group 1 or 2 indefinitely, then the MPC is withheld on the basis of his consent.
