The 2026 Reform – Tax Exemptions Now Available for Certain Israeli-Source Income as Well!

National Insurance & Healthcare – Securing Your Social Security and Healthcare Rights in Israel

Your rights and obligations vary depending on your status—whether you are a new immigrant (Oleh Hadash), a returning resident (Toshav Hozer), or a senior returning resident (Veteran Returning Resident). It is therefore essential to assess each case individually.
For New Immigrants (Olim Hadashim):

  • Eligibility for National Insurance benefits and contribution relief, subject to the applicable legal provisions and your personal status.
  • Potential eligibility for exemption periods in respect of certain foreign-source income, subject to the conditions prescribed by law.
  • Assistance with registration for one of Israel’s Health Funds (Kupot Holim) and access to Israel’s public healthcare system, ensuring that registration is completed correctly and on time.

For Returning Residents:

  • Assistance in regularizing your status with the National Insurance Institute upon your return to Israel.
  • In certain cases, a waiting period may apply before healthcare eligibility is restored, unless the appropriate steps have been taken in advance.
  • Failure to regularize your status or settle outstanding obligations may delay access to medical services and result in additional charges or penalties.

How Can We Help You?

Our experience shows that most issues arise not from a lack of eligibility, but from avoidable bureaucratic mistakes. Our services include:

  1. Advance Eligibility and Status Assessment
    We evaluate your status with the National Insurance Institute before your immigration or return to Israel, identifying your rights, obligations, and any potential risks.
  2. Healthcare Registration and Coverage
    We guide you through the process of registering with an Israeli Health Fund (Kupat Holim), assist with matters relating to waiting periods, and assess whether those waiting periods can be reduced or waived under applicable law.
  3. National Insurance Contributions
    We review existing National Insurance obligations, assist with payment arrangements, prepare and submit applications, and represent clients before the National Insurance Institute in cases involving disputes or incorrect assessments.
  4. Comprehensive Administrative Support
    We provide guidance throughout the application process, help preserve the continuity of your social security and healthcare rights, and prevent administrative errors that could result in unnecessary delays or costs.

The Bottom Line:

Healthcare coverage and social security are fundamental to a successful transition to life in Israel. Proper planning and early coordination with the National Insurance Institute and Israel’s Health Funds can save months of bureaucracy, unnecessary expenses, and considerable frustration.
We are here to ensure that your move to Israel is smooth, secure, and free from unexpected complications.
