Please note, upon actual reception of the child as foster family in view of his adoption, you will be immediately entitled to child allowance - without having to wait until an adoption order is issued by a tribunal.
The allowance is paid once a month, on the 20th of the month.

How to submit a claim?
To receive the allowance, you have to submit a Claim for a Child Allowance.
The claim must have the following attachments:
Adoption in Israel – certification
from the Child Welfare Services, including the child's date of birth
and the temporary identity number given to him, as well as the date of
adoption.
Adoption abroad – a notary's authorization and a photocopy of the child's passport, including the date of the child's arrival in Israel.
You should submit the claim for a child allowance within 12
months of the date of child's reception for adoption or arrival in Israel. The claim may be submitted
later, but retroactive payment will be received only for the 12 months preceding the submission of the claim.
