The article on the Kursor website explains in detail who can receive unemployment benefits from the National Insurance Institute (Bituah Leumi) and under what conditions. The maximum payment for 25 paid days can reach 13,769 shekels, but this is not a fixed amount, but a calculated maximum depending on previous earnings. The main requirements: Israeli residency, age 20 to 67 (with exceptions for those under 20), at least 12 months of work out of the last 18 before registering with the Employment Service. The benefit amount is calculated based on income subject to insurance premiums over six full months. A table is provided: with a gross salary of 10,000 shekels, the benefit will be about 6,445 shekels for 25 days; with 25,000 shekels, about 11,002 shekels. For the first 125 days, the maximum daily rate is 550.76 shekels, then it decreases to 367.17 shekels. The number of paid days depends on age and number of dependents: for unemployed persons aged 45 and older, the maximum is 175 days. The first five days of unemployment in each four-month period are not paid. Those who resign voluntarily without a valid reason will only start receiving payments after 90 days. Refusal of offered work or training may result in a 90-day suspension of payments and a deduction of 30 days from the quota. Travel abroad does not cancel the benefit, but payments are not made for days of absence. The article is informational and reference in nature, without signs of manipulation.
