- Har HaKesef (government search for inactive accounts) and the Mislaka Pensionit (pension clearing house)
Har HaKesef is a free official search for inactive financial accounts, including pension and provident accounts, and requires no digital identity: the teudat zehut identity number and the date printed on the physical identity card are enough. The Mislaka Pensionit clearing house returns a consolidated all-providers pension report for 20 NIS. Interfaces are Hebrew only. Foreign workers have the separate passport-keyed pikadon deposit scheme, payable abroad within 30 business days of a departure application. Bituach Leumi runs a dedicated telephone line for people abroad.
Access note on record: Har HaKesef needs only the identity number and its card issuance date, no digital ID; full government digital ID requires an Israeli identity number plus two further Israeli proofs
1 contact route(s) on record. Last checked 10 August 2026. Official source: https://www.gov.il
- A survivors' pension (קצבת שאירים) application is recommended within 12 months of the date of death; a late application is paid retroactively for no more than 12 months. What is lost: The source states that if the application is submitted late, the pension can be received for a retroactive period of at most 12 months. Entitlement for months earlier than that is not paid. Official source, btl.gov.il (checked 1 September 2026)
- An old age (אזרח ותיק) pension claim submitted after retirement age is paid retroactively for no more than 12 months counted back from the day the claim is submitted. What is lost: The source states the retroactive payment is capped: entitlement for any period earlier than 12 months before the submission date is not paid retroactively. Every month of delay in submitting therefore moves the 12-month window forward with it. Official source, btl.gov.il (checked 1 September 2026)
- An Israeli resident who goes abroad temporarily continues to receive the old age pension in the month of departure and for 3 additional months; the same page sets out separate routes under which payment may continue beyond that (a country with a social security convention with Israel, a country without one on stated conditions, and the United States). What is lost: the source does not state what happens if this is missed Official source, btl.gov.il (checked 1 September 2026)
- A person abroad who receives the Israeli old age pension must send Bituach Leumi a life certificate once a year, signed by a consulate, a recognised notary, a local authority or a social institution in the country where they live. What is lost: the source does not state what happens if this is missed Official source, btl.gov.il (checked 1 September 2026)
