"On pension provision in the Republic of Kazakhstan" June 20, 1997
No. 136, which became invalid by the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan dated June 21, 2013, upon the resumption of previously scheduled pension payments to pensioners from among military personnel, employees of special state and law enforcement agencies, as well as persons whose rights to hold military or special ranks, class ranks and wear uniforms were abolished on January 1, 2012, or in the case of reassignment of a pension from the Center to a superannuation pension is paid in the amount determined at the time of termination of payment of the superannuation pension, taking into account the indexation made in accordance with the procedure, established by the legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan, for the period for which pension payment was suspended.
The re-dismissal of the plaintiff took place on April 17, 2008, therefore, the resumption of the previously awarded superannuation pension, taking into account the indexation, corresponds to the above-mentioned norm.
In accordance with the provision of paragraph 7 of Article 212 of the Social Code, persons who have served for 3 years again, upon re-discharge from service, have the right to choose to appoint a pension payment for years of service in accordance with paragraph 1 of this article, taking into account the length of service and salary at the time of re-discharge from service, or to resume previously appointed pension payments for the length of service, taking into account the increases made in accordance with the procedure established by the legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan, for the period for which pension payments for years of service were suspended.
However, the provision of paragraph 7 of Article 212 of the Social Code does not apply to the plaintiff, since this Code of April 20, 2023 has no retroactive effect, therefore, according to Article 4 of the Civil Code of the Republic Kazakhstan applies to the relations that arose after its introduction into force.
According to paragraph 1 of Article 11 of the Law of the Republic Kazakhstan "On Legal Acts" (hereinafter referred to as the Law) all regulatory legal acts have direct effect, unless otherwise stipulated in the regulatory legal acts themselves or the acts on their enactment.
