Important to know

Tachles Israel is an independent information service, not a government authority. Check binding conditions, eligibility and deadlines with the official source.

Before you start

Start by identifying the general subject and checking which official services are available. An initial match is not an eligibility decision; only the competent organisation can determine eligibility based on the details and documents.

Who is this guide for?

Anyone who wants to check whether benefits or entitlements may apply to their circumstances.

Conditions and exceptions

Do not enter identity numbers, bank-account details or sensitive documents on this website. Use official services as needed.

Check eligibility conditions at the official source

Read the eligibility conditions, documents, exceptions and deadlines published by the competent organisation. If information is missing, contact that organisation directly.

A result from a benefits finder points to a possible entitlement; it is not an eligibility decision.

If you decide to apply, go to the responsible organisation’s website and follow its current instructions. Keep your submission confirmation.
What should you prepare?

As required by the official procedure.

Please note

Follow up on the response

Check the status of your application with the organisation handling it and provide further documents if requested.
What should you prepare?

An enquiry reference or confirmation, if issued by the organisation.

Please note

Tachles Israel does not make eligibility decisions and cannot guarantee an outcome.
