Why Do You Need Legal Help with Bituach Leumi?

The National Insurance Institute routinely rejects or reduces benefit claims. Without proper legal representation, many eligible claimants lose out on significant payments they are legally entitled to. An experienced attorney can dramatically improve your chances of success.

Our Social Security Services

We handle claims and appeals for: general disability allowance, work injury compensation, occupational diseases, maternity and paternity benefits, unemployment benefits, old-age pension disputes, and survivor benefits.

Disability Claims

Disability claims are among the most contested areas of Bituach Leumi law. We prepare comprehensive medical and legal documentation, represent clients in medical committees, and file appeals to the Labor Court when claims are wrongly denied.

Frequently Asked Questions – Social Security in Israel

Foreign nationals legally employed in Israel generally pay Bituach Leumi contributions and are entitled to work injury, disability, and maternity benefits. New immigrants (olim) also have specific benefit rights. The exact entitlements depend on your status and work history.
