Going out to work is worthwhile
If you go out to work, your overall income from work and from pension will always be higher than the mere amount of the pension.
Impact of non-work income on pension rate
If you have an income not from work (such as retirement pension, rent, scholarship, other benefits from the NII or other entities, return on investments) and are entitled to an increment for a spouse and/or children – this income will impact the increment you are due in the following manner:
If the amount of the pension, including increment for a spouse and children, is above NIS 4,556 -
- NIS 1,514 of the income will not be taken into account.
- The rest of the income will be deducted from the pension, however, in any event, the amount of your pension will not be below NIS 4,556 .
Example: you were granted a disability pension at a rate of 100% (NIS 4,556), you are entitled to an increment for two children (NIS 2,350) and have non-work income of only NIS 3,000 - the difference will be offset from the pension:|
3,000-1,514 =1,486
4,556+2,235-1,486 = 5,420
The amount of your pension will be NIS 5,420.
If the amount of the pension, including increment for a spouse and children, is up to NIS 4,556 - your income not from work will not affect the amount of the pension, and will not be deducted from the pension.
Important information! Alimony payments paid by the father for his children are not deducted from the increment for children on the mother's disability pension.
However, alimony paid for the mother are regarded as part of her income not from work, and as such are deducted from the increment for children.as of Jan 01, 2025
