As autumn arrives and temperatures drop, the National Insurance Institute will soon transfer the annual heating grant directly into the bank accounts of eligible citizens. For 2026, the grant amount is set at 664 shekels per family. This sum will be automatically added to monthly pensions without requiring a special application. The funds are expected to appear in bank accounts in the coming days, depending on each bank's processing times. The grant is intended for senior citizens and recipients of specific pensions who have reached retirement age. Eligible recipients include those receiving an old-age pension with income supplement in October, November, or December, recipients of survivor benefits who have reached retirement age and receive an income supplement, and those receiving a special old-age pension or a disability pension.
Currently, the heating grant is paid universally to all eligible individuals across the country who meet the criteria, regardless of whether they reside in areas previously designated as "cold regions."
