Extension of disability pension payment
Due to the security situation and the difficulty in maintaining and reaching medical boards throughout the country due to rocket fire and fighting, the National Insurance automatically extended the entitlement period for all those who have received a general disability and whose temporary period of eligibility has ended.
For people with severe disabilities, eligibility has been extended by 6 months, and for the rest of people with disabilities, eligibility will automatically be extended by 4 months, and there is no need to contact us.
The notification of this extension will be sent by the National Insurance directly to all the beneficiaries in order to ensure the continuity of services and the feeling of stability among the public.
Extension of the right to long-term care benefit
In the localities that were attacked during the week, and are under the main National Insurance agencies, namely: Beer Sheva, North Jerusalem, Ramat Gan, Ashdod, Bnei Brak, Ashkelon, Rishon Lezion, Rehovot, Ramla, Petah Tikva, Kfar Saba, Holon.
The temporary long-term care benefit has been extended until 30/11/23.
Yarona Shalom, Acting Director General of the National Insurance: "The National Insurance is responsible for taking care of victims of terrorism who are not IDF soldiers, with the treatment of thousands of families who have experienced the worst, we continue to care for the entire population and work regularly on all other benefits offered to the public: old age, disability, maternity, unemployment, income support and more. The security situation affects almost all areas and, in parallel, National Insurance employees,
as integral part of the community, have also been deployed as reservists and suffered losses among their families, etc. This complex situation requires an immediate response
and, therefore, the extension of the right to benefits represents a necessary and useful measure for the Israeli public. We are reviewing additional relief measures and will keep you informed on a regular basis. »
