Or
You or your spouse have additional income from work, but the gross monthly amount does not exceed (or exceeds by only a small amount) NIS 1,724 (as of 01.01.2012) for an individual or NIS 2,069 (as of 01.01.2012)  for a couple.
Or
You or your spouse have additional income from work and also from a pension, but the gross monthly amount does not exceed (or exceeds by only a small amount) NIS 1,724 (as of 01.01.2012) for an individual or NIS 2,069 (as of 01.01.2012) for a couple.
Or

A monetary deposit that does not exceed NIS 33,480 (as of 01.01.2012) for an individual and NIS 50,220 (as of 01.01.2012) for a couple, does not affect the right to an income supplement.

Please note: The examination of income from work and from a pension applies from March 1, 2008. Up to February 28, 2008 another examination was utilized.

Staying abroad
If you intend to leave Israel for any reason, you must inform the National Insurance Institute. If you depart without doing so, you may accumulate debts that you will be required to repay to the National Insurance Institute.
