Bituah Leumi has published recommendations on its website aimed at helping citizens realize their rights to benefits and maintain payments. The advice is based on the experience of the institute's employees. In particular, those who have applied for disability and have no income are advised to simultaneously apply for a minimum income guarantee benefit. Recipients of partial disability benefits are advised to check their eligibility for an income supplement. If an application is rejected, one can reapply after six months, but earlier if health status changes. Those injured at work are advised to file a claim even if they did not miss work. If their condition worsens, they can request a reassessment of their disability degree. Benefits for accidents, payments to disabled children, and victims of hostile actions are also discussed.
