Israel's National Insurance Institute has adjusted payment dates for various benefits and pensions in September to accommodate the upcoming Jewish holidays. Payments for unemployment and income support benefits were moved up to September 8, 2026, ahead of Rosh Hashanah. Additionally, long-term benefit payments, including those for seniors, survivors, work injury victims, alimony, disability, mobility, nursing care, and prisoners of Zion, will be disbursed on September 22, 2026, before the Sukkot holiday.
The deadline for self-employed individuals and employers to report and pay insurance contributions was set for September 15, 2026. Child benefit payments are scheduled for September 20, 2026, the eve of Yom Kippur.
These adjustments come as average benefit payments have increased by up to 2.64% since the beginning of 2026, attributed to the rise in the consumer price index. The average monthly payment across all benefit types now stands at approximately 5,280 shekels.
