- National Insurance advances largest November pension payment to November 26.
- Advance payment is due to November 28 falling on a Saturday.
- Hundreds of thousands of Israelis will receive payments early.
- Payments include disability, old-age, child, and unemployment benefits.
- Other November payment dates include Nov 12, 15, and 20.
The National Insurance Institute (Bituah Leumi) will advance the largest pension payment of November by two days, allowing hundreds of thousands of Israeli households to receive their funds before the end of the week. The advance is due to the fact that November 28, the regular payment date for long-term pensions, falls on a Saturday, when the interbank clearing system is closed. Consequently, the payment will be disbursed on Thursday, November 26, ensuring recipients have access to their money before the weekend.
This accelerated payment includes significant sums for various groups. On November 12, payments for employment support and subsistence will be issued, including unemployment benefits, which can reach up to NIS 13,769 gross monthly for eligible workers, and income support for individuals and families below the poverty line.
Employers and self-employed individuals are reminded that their reporting and payment deadline for October's national insurance and health insurance contributions is November 15. Timely submission prevents fines and ensures continuity of insurance rights.
On November 20, child allowances and the "Savings for Every Child" program payments will be processed. Child allowances are approximately NIS 173 for the first child and NIS 219 for subsequent children, while the state contributes NIS 57 monthly per child to designated savings plans, with an option for parents to double this amount from the child allowance.
The November 26 advance payment will cover a wide range of benefits, including disability pensions (around NIS 4,711 monthly for a 75% disability rating before dependents' additions), special services grants for those with daily functioning difficulties, and child disability benefits. It also includes old-age pensions (starting at NIS 1,838 monthly for a single person, potentially rising with seniority), survivor benefits for widows and orphans, and payments for work injury victims, alimony recipients, mobility-impaired individuals, long-term care recipients, and prisoners of Zion. Recipients are advised to check their bank accounts on the morning of November 26 and contact the National Insurance Institute if they encounter any issues.
