The National Insurance Institute has released its schedule for benefit payments and reporting deadlines for October 2026. Unlike September, which saw shifts due to holidays, October payments will revert to their regular dates. Recipients of unemployment and income support benefits received their monthly payments on Monday, October 12th. Child benefits, set at approximately 169 NIS for the first child, will be disbursed on Tuesday, October 20th. A significant date for long-term benefit recipients, including general disability, old-age, survivors, long-term care, and child disability benefits, is Wednesday, October 28th. In 2026, a full general disability pension for an individual is 4,711 NIS, and a basic old-age pension is 1,838 NIS, potentially reaching 2,757 NIS with maximum seniority additions.
Additionally, a crucial deadline for employers, self-employed individuals, and non-workers is Thursday, October 15th, for reporting and paying national insurance and health insurance contributions. This includes the quarterly payment for those not currently employed. The Institute advises prompt attention to these reporting requirements.
In parallel, the National Insurance Institute has invested approximately 28 million NIS in expanding rehabilitation services for victims of hostile acts through its "Soul, Body, Spirit" centers. This investment aims to create a comprehensive therapeutic environment encompassing leisure, sports, treatment, and social activities in dedicated centers across the country. These services are available to individuals recognized by National Insurance as victims of hostile acts with at least 20% disability. The first year of services is free for eligible individuals. Currently, over 30,000 victims of hostile acts with 20% or more disability are recognized by National Insurance. About half reside in the southern region, prompting a focus on accessibility there. Three centers are located in the Gaza envelope area: Sha'ar HaNegev, Adi Negev, and Sderot, alongside other national locations. The centers were selected through a competitive process, with most meeting the criteria and approved by the National Insurance's Fund for the Development of Services for the Disabled. The fund will monitor the centers' usage and evolving needs to inform future service expansions.
