Israel's National Insurance Institute (Bituah Leumi) has released its schedule for benefit payments for October 2026 and reminded the public about deadlines for paying insurance contributions. Employers and self-employed individuals must submit their reports and pay their insurance contributions by the end of October 15. Recipients of benefits should note the upcoming payment dates: child allowances will be disbursed on October 20, and main social security payments are scheduled for October 28. Unemployment and minimum income benefits were already paid on Monday, October 12.
In 2026, the monthly child allowance amounts are 173 shekels for the first child, 219 shekels for the second, third, and fourth children, and 173 shekels for the fifth and subsequent children. On Wednesday, October 28, payments for old-age, disability, survivor, long-term care, and child disability benefits will be issued. The full monthly general disability benefit for a single person with a 100% disability rating is 4711 shekels, while the basic old-age pension is 1838 shekels, rising to 2757 shekels with maximum seniority increments.
The deadline for employers and the self-employed to pay insurance contributions and file reports is also October 15. For unemployed citizens who pay quarterly, this date marks the deadline for July, August, and September payments. Payment processing times for standing orders may vary.
In parallel, Bituah Leumi announced an expansion of support for Israelis affected by terrorism and hostile actions, allocating approximately 28 million shekels to develop specialized rehabilitation centers named "Soul, Body, Spirit." These centers will offer sports activities, swimming pools, gyms, psychological support, and other therapeutic services, including group sessions and lectures. The program is open to individuals officially recognized by Bituah Leumi as victims of hostile actions with at least a 20% disability rating who are eligible for rehabilitation services. The first year of participation in these centers will be free.
According to the institute, over 30,000 Israelis have a disability of at least 20% due to hostile actions, with about half residing in the southern part of the country. Bituah Leumi is giving special attention to residents near the Gaza Strip, with three centers located in Sderot, the Sha'ar HaNegev Regional Council, and the Adi Negev rehabilitation complex. Other centers are operating in Jerusalem, Ramat Gan, Haifa, and near Kibbutz Sdot Yam. Organizations were selected through an open tender process, and Bituah Leumi plans to monitor their performance, assess service demand, and adjust the program as needed, potentially expanding participant eligibility and aid scope in the future.
