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.
If you are in a country that has signed a social insurance convention with Israel, your pension will be paid to you in that country, as specified in the convention.
Under the convention of friendship, commerce and navigation signed between the State of Israel and the United States (not a social security convention), you will continue to receive your old-age pension while you are staying in the United States, on condition that you began receiving the pension before you departed for the United States.
Those living abroad and receiving an old-age pension from the National Insurance Institute are required, once a year, to submit a Life Certificate to the National Insurance Institute in Israel.
