Bituach Leumi Releases October 2026 Payment and Reporting Schedules
The National Insurance Institute of Israel has published the payment schedules and reporting deadlines for October 2026, returning to regular dates after a holiday-heavy September.
Beneficiaries and insured persons in Israel can plan ahead as the National Insurance Institute (Bituach Leumi) has released the updated payment schedules and reporting deadlines for October 2026. Following a September disrupted by numerous holidays, October payment dates have returned to their regular schedule.
The first to receive their monthly stipends will be unemployment and income support beneficiaries, whose accounts will be credited in three days on Monday, October 12. A few days later, on Tuesday, October 20, the child allowance will be paid, with the base amount for a first child standing at approximately 169 NIS.
The primary disbursement date for long-term benefit recipients—including general disability, old-age pensions, survivors, long-term care, and disabled child allowances—is set for Wednesday, October 28. In 2026, the full general disability allowance for an individual stands at 4,711 NIS, while the basic old-age pension for an individual is 1,838 NIS, reaching up to approximately 2,757 NIS including maximum seniority increments.
Alongside credit dates, another crucial deadline for employers, the self-employed, and non-working individuals is Thursday, October 15, which marks the mandatory reporting and payment date for national insurance and health insurance contributions, including the quarterly payment for non-working individuals.
