How to submit a claim


The birth grant is generally paid to new mothers automatically, and there is no need to submit a claim. Upon reception of a confirmation of birth from the hospital, the grant shall be paid on the new mother's bank account. 

Home birth - if you have received a confirmation of home birth from the Ministry of Health, the grant shall be paid without needing to submit a claim.

In the following cases a claim must be submitted to the NII in order to receive the birth grant:
  • Giving birth abroad - the new mother is an Israeli resident  or the wife of an Israeli resident who gave birth overseas.

    Please note - you can receive reimbursement for hospitalization expenses in a hospital abroad, up to the amount of the birth grant paid in Israel. For this purpose, you must send a receipt indicating payment to the medical center.
    If you declared on the claim form that you were provided with private medicall services as part of your hospitalization abroad, you must send, in addition to the receipt, an invoice detailing the services provided and we will check your eligibility.
    If the baby is born prematurely, you can receive reimbursement for the premature baby's hospitalization expenses, up to the amount of the supplement for premature babies paid in Israel. For the purpose of checking your eligibility, you must send, in addition to the receipt, an invoice detailing the services provided and we will check your eligibility.
  • Adoption - the parents adopted a child.
  • Surrogacy - the parents who went through surrogacy and the surrogate mother.
One must complete a claim for a birth grant and submit it to the National Insurance Institute through the website or your local NII branch.
