Hundreds of thousands of Israelis will receive their social security payments later than usual in November 2026, with some eligible for up to 8,300 shekels. The National Insurance Institute (Bituah Leumi) has rescheduled the disbursement of November benefits from the standard 28th to the 29th. This shift is due to the 28th falling on a Saturday, a day when the country's banking systems do not process mass transfers, causing the funds to arrive on Sunday, November 29th. The change only affects the timing of payments, not their amounts. The new schedule impacts a wide range of citizens receiving regular state support, including pensioners, individuals with disabilities, families with special needs children, and those eligible for welfare assistance. The postponed payments include general disability benefits, special services allowances, benefits for children with disabilities, and aid for those with limited mobility. Old-age pensions and survivor benefits will also be disbursed on this date, along with minimum income support, alimony payments, and care allowances. For many families, these funds are their primary source of income. Full general disability benefits for a single person with 100% disability range from approximately 4,300 to 4,500 shekels monthly, potentially increasing to 6,000-8,500 shekels with dependents. Special services allowances can range from 1,800 to 8,300 shekels monthly, depending on the level of dependency. Payments for families raising children with disabilities can reach about 8,300 shekels monthly in some cases. Recipients without a private car may receive about 1,200 shekels for mobility, while those with an adapted vehicle could receive around 4,500 shekels. Basic old-age pensions are around 1,730-1,830 shekels per person, potentially rising to 2,600-2,750 shekels with maximum seniority increments. For couples, the total can reach about 4,200 shekels. Low-income elderly individuals may receive additional support, bringing total payments to about 4,000-4,500 shekels for a single person or up to 7,000 shekels for a couple. Care allowances for those needing assistance can range from 1,500 to 6,500 shekels monthly. Minimum income support recipients may get approximately 1,900-2,300 shekels per person, or about 4,300 shekels for couples with children. All amounts are approximate and depend on specific eligibility criteria.
