The main payment date for long-term benefits, including general disability, old-age pensions, survivors' benefits, long-term care, and benefits for disabled children, is set for Wednesday, October 28. In 2026, a full general disability pension is valued at 4,711 NIS, while a basic old-age pension for an individual is 1,838 NIS, potentially reaching up to 2,757 NIS with maximum seniority additions.
In addition to benefit payouts, employers, self-employed individuals, and the unemployed must note Thursday, October 15, as the deadline for reporting and paying national insurance and health insurance contributions. This includes the quarterly payment for those not currently employed. The Institute advises timely organization to ensure these reports are submitted on schedule.
