Dependents’ pensions are paid at a rate of between 40% to 100% of the full pension the insured person would have been entitled to, had he/she been 100% disabled according to the number of dependents. Recipients of a dependents’ pension with low income receive an income supplement.
A widow with a child is entitled to a dependents’ pension, or if she is 40 years old or over, or if she is unable to support herself; also a widower if he has a child, or if he is 40 years old or over and is unable to support himself (and his gross income is less than NIS 7,146 (as of Jan 01, 2024) per month).
