The National Insurance Institute has released its payment and reporting schedule for October 2026. Unlike September, when many benefits were advanced due to the holiday period, payments will return to their regular schedule this month. The first wave of payments will be disbursed on Monday, October 12, to recipients of unemployment and income support benefits. A few days later, on Tuesday, October 20, child allowances will be paid, with the base amount for the first child currently set at approximately 169 shekels. The main payment date is Wednesday, October 28, when long-term benefits, including general disability, old-age, long-term care, survivors, and disabled child benefits, will be transferred. In 2026, the full general disability pension for an individual is 4,711 shekels per month, while the basic old-age pension for an individual is 1,838 shekels, potentially reaching up to about 2,757 shekels with the maximum seniority supplement.
