Tachles Israel is an independent information service, not a government authority. Check binding conditions, eligibility and deadlines with the official source.
Before you start
Choose the route from benefits already received before entering household and income details.
Who is this guide for?
People with reduced income, low wages or old-age benefit.
Calculators estimate only. Working-age income support generally considers a spouse; old-age recipients have a separate supplement route.
The checklist
Identify existing benefits
Benefit confirmation; income list.
Do not select a form solely by an informal benefit name.
Gather household information
Income evidence; household details.
Low income alone does not establish entitlement.
Use estimates carefully
Current application data.
A calculation is not an official decision.
Apply through the chosen route
Claim; exemption evidence where relevant.
Retrospective payment is not guaranteed; exceptions vary.
Track decisions and changes
Decision; updated income evidence.
Earlier payments do not guarantee continuing entitlement.

Frequently asked questions
Does the calculator guarantee payment?
No. National Insurance must assess a claim and the correct data and route may change the result.
