As of January 1, new regulations regarding social benefits have come into effect, reported the Ministry of Labor, Social Protection, and Migration. On the air of "Birinchi Radio," the chief specialist of the state benefits department, Adel Zhoomartova, clarified that starting in 2026, the one-time payment "Bala bereke" will be assigned for the fourth and subsequent children born from January 1 and living in mountainous and remote areas. However, payments will only begin in 2027, when the children turn one year old.

The amounts of this payment will be:

Zhoomartova added that in the case of twins being born when there are already three children, one of the children will be considered the fourth, and the other the fifth, allowing the family to receive 700,000 soms instead of two payments of 100,000 soms.

According to preliminary calculations by the Ministry of Labor, 11,000 newborns are expected in mountainous areas in 2026.

Additionally, starting January 1, a monthly benefit "Biyik tooluu aymaktyn zhashoochularina komok" ("Assistance to Residents of Mountainous Areas") is assigned for families with children under three years old living in remote and hard-to-reach areas, as well as in certain border regions with special conditions. It amounts to 3,000 soms for each child under three years old.

For example, if a family has three children and the youngest is 2.5 years old, they can receive the benefit for six months. Payments for January will be made in February, and the children must live with their parents to be eligible for the benefit.

Payments for the following benefits will also continue:
