Money in Two Days: Bituah Leumi Prepares New Payments
Bituah Leumi will transfer the next social payments on August 12. Israelis eligible for unemployment benefits and income support will receive funds. The article describes eligibility conditions, including age criteria, work history requirements, and registration with the Employment Service, as well as special rules for students and single parents.
Bituah Leumi (Israel's National Insurance Institute) is preparing to transfer the next social payments on August 12, 2026. Funds will go to Israelis entitled to unemployment benefits and income support. The original message states 'June 12,' which is likely an error, as the material was published on August 10 and mentions payment in two days. Unemployment benefits are intended for employees who have stopped working and meet Bituah Leumi's criteria. The payment amount is calculated individually, considering age, previous salary, and insurance record. The applicant must be an Israeli resident aged 20 to 67, have ceased employment, and register with the Employment Service. Conditions depend on the reason for dismissal: voluntary resignation may involve a waiting period. The income support program is for people with no income or insufficient income. Eligibility considers the spouse's income, as well as checks on cars, real estate, and other assets. Non-working recipients are usually required to contact the Employment Service. Special rules apply to students: university studies typically exclude eligibility, but exceptions exist for participants in vocational training and single parents. A single parent may retain support while studying if they received assistance or alimony for at least 16 of the 20 months before starting studies, and support may be provided for up to 36 months.
