Withdrawal from age 21
When the child turns 21, the National Insurance Institute will deposit a another savings subvention of NIS 568 , on condition that savings moneys were not withdrawn previously.
As of the age of 21, the child may withdraw savings money at any time without the authorization of his or her parents.
Withdrawal before age 18 due to the child's health condition
The parents of child in life threatening health situation can withdraw savings money prior to his 18 birthday, in order to cover his or her medical needs, under the approbation of a physician of the National Insurance Institute.
Upon approval by a physician, a NIS 568 savings subvention will be deposited (immediately and not at age 18), and parents will be able to withdraw savings money.
After the withdrawal, the NII will continue to transfer money for the child's savings, up to age 18.
At age 18, the NIS 568 subvention will not be deposited (since it has already bee paid at the time of the withdrawal). However, if the child continues to save until age 21, he or her will obtain another subvention of NIS 568 , paid at age 21.
Withdrawal due to child's death
When a child, for whom child allowances were paid, dies, his or her parents are entitled to receive child allowance during the month of his death and for three additional months afterwards. During that period of time, monthly deposits will still be made to the savings plan. At the end of that period, parents will be able to withdraw savings money.
Tax deduction on capital returns
When savings money are withdrawn, in part or in whole, return on capital tax will be deducted from the withdrawal amount.
Please note, the child whose savings are administered by a provident fund and who decides to leave his accrued savings money in the provident fund for investment until retirement age, will be able to receive savings money after retirement as an allowance, without paying any tax on capital returns.
