About the assigned social payments through the DFC
In recent years, it has become popular for citizens to receive public services "without leaving home", i.e. in a proactive form.
This service is possible in case of registration of a mobile phone number in the database of mobile citizens (DMC). You can register with DMC through the web portal egov.kz .
The functioning of the information system "Digital Family Card" (DFC) allows you to identify citizens who, for various reasons, have not realized their right to public services. At the same time, the dialogue between the service provider and the service recipient takes place by exchanging SMS messages sent by the contact center 1414 to the citizen's mobile phone number, that is, in an online format.
For 2024, due to Digital Family Card, 845 citizens realized their right to social payments from the State Social Insurance Fund (795 - for loss of employment, 50 - for caring for a child under one and a half years).
