The National Insurance Institute has released its updated payment and reporting schedule for October 2026. Following a September with numerous changes due to holidays, October's payment dates will revert to their regular schedule.
Recipients of unemployment benefits and income support will be the first to receive their payments, with funds expected to be deposited on Monday, October 12th. A few days later, on Tuesday, October 20th, child benefit payments will be issued. The base amount for the first child is approximately 169 NIS.
The main payment date for long-term benefits, including general disability, old-age pensions, survivors' benefits, long-term care, and disability benefits for children, is set for Wednesday, October 28th. In 2026, the full general disability pension for an individual is 4,711 NIS, and the basic old-age pension for an individual is 1,838 NIS, potentially reaching up to approximately 2,757 NIS with maximum seniority additions.
In addition to payment dates, employers, self-employed individuals, and those not currently employed have a crucial reporting and payment deadline on Thursday, October 15th. This date marks the obligation to report and pay national insurance and health insurance contributions, including the quarterly payment for non-employed individuals. The Institute advises organizing these matters in advance to ensure timely compliance.
