Pension question, Israel

Did my Israeli employer pay into a pension fund for me?

The occupational layer is separate: mandatory for employees since 1 January 2008, a combined 17.5 per cent of insured wage from 1 January 2014, held by a pension fund or insurer, not the state. The State Comptroller counted about 1.6 million inactive member accounts holding some NIS 59.7 billion in the five largest new funds in 2021.
