Receiving benefits in Israel for a returning resident<\/strong><\/h4>\n

After proper registration with the Interior Ministry (at the nearest office of the Population Authority), it is recommended to visit the Aliyah and Integration Ministry to receive explanation and help. One should come with the details of his bank account in order to receive financial assistance.<\/p>\n

Among other topics, one can receive an explanation on registering or re-registering for a health fund and for National Insurance. If the applicant resided abroad for more than 5 years, the Aliyah and Integration Ministry will automatically transfer some of the documents to official bodies (such as National Insurance), but certain benefits still require meeting with the relevant body.<\/p>\n

Renewing membership in a health fund \/ National Insurance<\/strong><\/h4>\n

To register with National Insurance, the applicant must show that the center of his life is in fact Israel. A returning resident is required to reside for several months in Israel in order to prove that he has made Israel the center of his life. However, it is also possible to pay a certain sum (over 10,000 shekels) to obtain immediate access to health insurance.<\/p>\n

Who is not eligible for assistance as a returning resident?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Anyone who received assistance as a returning resident in the past \u2013 cannot receive it a second time for 10 years, of which at least 6 must be spent residing abroad.<\/p>\n

Someone who has previously received assistance as a new immigrant cannot receive assistance as a returning resident for two years.<\/p>\n
