Israel's National Insurance Institute (Bituah Leumi) has adjusted its September payment schedule due to the Jewish holidays. Unemployment benefits and income support benefits were paid early on September 8, 2026, before Rosh Hashanah. Long-term benefit payments — for elderly citizens, those who have lost a breadwinner, work accident victims, alimony recipients, people with disabilities, mobility allowance recipients, those in need of care, and prisoners of Zion — have been postponed to September 22, 2026, due to the Sukkot holiday. Child allowances will be paid on September 20, on the eve of Yom Kippur. A key reminder for payers: the deadline for submitting reports and paying insurance contributions for self-employed individuals and employers expires on September 15, 2026. The article also reports that since the beginning of 2026, average benefit amounts have increased due to the rise in the consumer price index — by a maximum of 2.64%. After the latest indexation, the average payment across all benefit types is approximately 5,280 shekels.
