The Role of the National Insurance Institute
The National Insurance Institute (Bituach Leumi) was established to provide a financial safety net for individuals and families facing temporary or long-term distress. The law encompasses various programs, including Work Injury compensation, General Disability, Long-Term Care (Siud), and more. To ensure you receive the full range of benefits you are entitled to, it is highly recommended to seek professional legal guidance.
Key Areas of Our Practice:
General Disability Claims General Disability benefits are available to Israeli residents (aged 18 to retirement age) who suffer from a physical, intellectual, or mental impairment due to illness, accident, or birth defects.
Income Criteria: To be eligible, your income as an employee or self-employed individual must be less than 60% of the average market wage.
Medical Disability: A National Insurance physician must determine a medical disability of at least 60% (or 40% in cases of multiple impairments, provided one impairment reaches 25%).
Incapacity Level: The disability must result in a loss of work capacity of at least 50%, with an incapacity grade set at 60%, 65%, 74%, or 100%.
Work Injury Claims Entitlement to work injury benefits arises from a Work Accident or an Occupational Disease as defined by law. The legal framework also recognizes a variety of specific incidents that may qualify as work-related; we recommend a personal legal review to determine if your situation falls within these categories.
Occupational Disease An occupational disease is a condition specifically defined by National Insurance regulations that was contracted due to the nature of the employee’s or self-employed person's work environment or exposure to hazardous materials during the course of employment.
Exceptional Incidents (Heart Attacks and Strokes) To qualify a sudden medical event, such as a heart attack or stroke, as a "Work Accident," the court applies specific legal tests. The primary requirements include proving that an exceptional event occurred relative to the daily work routine, and that the impact of this work-related event was no less significant than external factors.
