The amount of the grant is determined as a percentage of unemployment benefit, and calculated based on the percentage of decrease in your wage.

For instance:

  • The wage used to calculate your unemployment benefits was NIS 10,000 gross per month.
  • You received unemployment benefits amounting to NIS 5,970 gross per month.
  • You return to work for a wage of NIS 7,000 gross per month (meaning you will earn 30% less than your previous wage).
  • You will receive a grant amounting to 30% of the unemployment benefits you were paid, or NIS 1,791 (NIS 71.64 per day).
  • The amount of your income from work and from the grant will be NIS 8,791 (7,000 + 1,791).

Grant maximum amount:

The maximum amount of the grant is determined according to the time of employment each month, and to the daily maximum amount you may earn from work and the grant.

Grant maximum amount per day - NIS 200.
Maximum amount of income from work and grant - NIS 632 per day.
