Israel's National Insurance Institute (Bituach Leumi) has adjusted the payment schedule for September 2026 due to the holiday period. The next payment — child benefits — will be deposited into recipients' accounts on Sunday, September 20, the eve of Yom Kippur. Additionally, several long-term benefits have been moved to an earlier date — September 22. These include old-age pensions, survivors' benefits, work injury payments, alimony, disability benefits, mobility allowances, nursing care benefits, and payments to Zion prisoners. Unemployment benefits and income support payments for September were already transferred on September 8, before Rosh Hashanah. The deadline for insurance contributions for the self-employed and employers fell on September 15. The changes are due to the consecutive holidays in September: Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, and Sukkot. The article also notes that since the beginning of 2026, the average benefit amount has increased by 2.64% due to the rise in the consumer price index, reaching approximately 5,280 shekels.
