Since you immigrated to Israel after the legal age limit, you are not insured and are not entitled to an old-age pension. At retirement age, you will also be ineligible for a "special old-age pension", because your wife receives the payment of an old-age pension by law.

When she reaches the age of entitlement (depending on her month of birth – between 65 and 70 years old), your right to a special pension will be reviewed.
