A few days later, on Tuesday, October 20, child benefits will be disbursed. The base amount for the first child is approximately 169 NIS.
The main payment date for recipients of 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, 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, another important date for employers, self-employed individuals, and non-workers is Thursday, October 15. This is the deadline for reporting and paying national insurance and health insurance contributions, including the quarterly payment for those not employed. It is advised to organize accordingly to ensure timely reporting and payments.
