I came back from oversees after a 12 months stay in my second month of pregnancy. I have paid insurance contributions. Until the estimated date of delivery, I had only 4 months of work in Israel. Am I entitled to a birth grant?


If you or your husband are Israeli residents, you will be entitled to both birth and hospitalization grants.

You will be eligible for maternity allowance if you have accrued  10 months of work out of the 14 months, or 15 out of 22 months, preceding work cessation.
