An employed woman or employed man who have received maternity allowance from the National Insurance, may be entitled to the payment of differentials on the maternity allowance paid to them, in the following cases:
After receiving the maternity allowance from the National Insurance, she or he received from their employer an additional payment (such as vacation pay, clothing allowance or a bonus) within 11 months since the first month of eligibility for the allowance, that relates to the period upon which the allowance was calculated. Entitlement to the supplement is granted when the additional payment exceeds one quarter of the minimum wage - NIS 1,562 (as of Apr 01, 2025).
She or he received wage differentials from her or his employer for the period of work that preceded the payment of their benefit from the National Insurance Institute.
Submitting a request for payment of differentials
To receive the differentials to which you are entitled, you have to ask your employer to issue to us a form 100 including the additional payments, and we will verify your eligibility for differentials automatically, without the need to submit a claim.
Furthermore, to take up your rights, we will contact your employer twice over the year following childbirth (after 6 months and 12 months), and therefore there is no need to contact us.
Alternately, if you decide to send the claim and supporting documents by yourself, you can do so as follows:
Fill out
an online claim and send it together with additional documents to a branch directly.
Submit the claim and documents by postal mail, fax or in the service box of
your local branch.
The claim may be submitted to the National Insurance Institute no later than 12 months from the day the employer paid the wage differentials.
