National Insurance & Healthcare

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.
