National Insurance Institute Details Eligibility for Income Support Payments
Israel's National Insurance Institute, known as Bituah Leumi, has clarified the criteria for receiving income support payments designed to help individuals and families struggling with the rising cost of living. These payments are intended for those whose earnings are insufficient to cover basic expenses, with amounts varying based on age, family status, and income level. Some recipients may receive a full payment, while others get a partial supplement to their existing wages.
Maximum monthly payments can reach up to 5,289 shekels for specific groups, such as single parents with multiple children. To qualify, applicants must meet the institute's criteria, including residency requirements and consistent registration with employment services, though exceptions exist for certain categories.
Bituah Leumi specialists emphasized that eligibility is not limited to the unemployed but also extends to low-wage earners. The assessment process considers financial assets and vehicle ownership, with limits on a car's value. Applications can be submitted online via the institute's official website, accompanied by necessary documentation.
