The National Insurance Institute has outlined the payment schedule for various benefits throughout November, crucial for millions of Israelis including the elderly, individuals with disabilities, unemployment benefit recipients, families with children, and the self-employed. These payments serve as a vital economic lifeline for many households.
On November 12, unemployment benefits and income support payments will be disbursed. Unemployment benefits are calculated based on an individual's previous salary and age, while income support serves as a safety net for those not meeting minimum income thresholds due to work capacity or low wages.
Employers and the self-employed have a critical deadline on November 15 to report and pay national insurance and health insurance contributions for October. Failure to meet this deadline incurs penalties, linkage differentials, and late interest.
Child benefits, intended to help cover the costs of raising children under 18, will be paid on November 20. The amounts vary, with approximately 173 shekels for the first child, 219 shekels for the second through fourth, and 173 shekels for subsequent children. Additionally, the "Savings for Every Child" program, where the National Insurance Institute deposits about 57 shekels per child monthly into savings accounts, will also be paid on this date.
The largest portion of National Insurance payments, including disability benefits, old-age pensions, survivor benefits, work injury benefits, alimony payments, mobility, long-term care, and 'prisoners of Zion' benefits, are typically paid on the 28th of the month. However, since November 28 falls on a Saturday, the payment date is expected to be moved forward to Thursday, November 26, or Friday, November 27, to avoid delays. A final official announcement from the National Insurance Institute will be made closer to the end of the month. Recipients are advised to monitor announcements and their bank accounts closely, especially when payment dates fall near weekends, to manage their monthly finances effectively.
