- Self-employed workers who did not receive the payment within three weeks from the date of completion of their reserve service. In most cases the NII pays the benefit to the self-employed automatically based on data received from IDF, thus submitting a claim is not necessary. However, the self-employed who did not receive the benefit within three weeks of service completion can submit a claim independently.
-
Those who are both self-employed and as salaried employees should make sure they are registered, at the Collection Department of the NII, as employed and self-employed. In order to prevent unnecessary debts, those whose daily income as employees or self-employed or both is below the minimum benefit, i.e. NIS 196.02 (as of Jan 01, 2014), should submit their personal claim only upon confirmation that their employer has received reservist's benefits from the NII. Those who are not willing to wait until their employer submit a claim to the NII, should indicate on the claim form, in column no. 2, their agreement to receive, at this stage, a benefit based on their income as self-employed, without a supplement up to the amount of the minimum benefit, and later, upon reception of the claim of the main employer, that the overall benefit would be calculated anew.
Those working for more than one employer, who received a benefit from the primary employer (the employer who paid him a salary during reserve services), should submit to the NII a personal claim for a benefit supplement, together with 6 wage slips for the months preceding the month of the service, from all other workplaces (including from the primary employer).
