Funds to Reach Accounts on August 11 — Bituah Leumi Announces Payments

Bituah Leumi will transfer the annual school grant to families on August 11. The payment is intended for single parents and some large families, ranging from 1,100 to 1,800 shekels per child. Most recipients do not need to apply; the money will be transferred automatically.

Bituah Leumi has announced the transfer of the annual school grant to families eligible for state assistance. The payment is scheduled for August 11 and is intended to cover expenses for the upcoming school year: textbooks, school supplies, clothing, and other items. The grant is primarily aimed at parents raising children alone, including divorced, widowed, and separated parents. Also eligible are some families with four or more children who receive certain Bituah Leumi benefits, such as income support, alimony, and disability allowance. The grant is provided for children in grades 1 through 12. The amount of assistance depends on the child's age and other conditions, ranging from approximately 1,100 to 1,800 shekels per child. For a large family, the total payment can reach several thousand shekels. Most recipients do not need to submit a separate application: the money will be automatically transferred to the bank account where the family receives the regular child allowance. Additional steps may be required for those who recently obtained single-parent status, as well as divorced citizens with outdated data—they need to submit an application in advance.
