Claim for payments of differentials on pregnancy bed rest benefits


A woman who is a salaried employee and received a pregnancy bed rest benefit, may be entitled to the payment of differentials on the received benefit, in the following cases:
  • After receiving the benefit from the National Insurance Institute, she received from their employer an additional payment (such as vacation pay, clothing allowance or a bonus) over the 11 months from their first day of eligibility to the benefit that relates to the period in which the benefit was calculated, and the additional payment exceeds one quarter of minimum wage - NIS 1,470 (as of Apr 01, 2024).
  • She received wage differentials from her or his employer for the period of work that preceded the payment of their benefit from the National Insurance Institute.

Submitting a request for payment of differentials

To receive the differentials to which you are entitled, you have to ask your employer to issue to us, after the childbirth, a form 100 including the additional payments, and we will verify your eligibility for differentials automatically, without the need to submit a claim.


Alternately, if you decide to send the claim and supporting documents by yourself, you can do so as follows:


The claim may be submitted to the National Insurance Institute no later than 12 months from the day the employer paid the wage differentials.
