Israeli Survivor Benefits Navigator
Trusted89/100Ties together, in one place, every financial entitlement a death triggers in Israel. Checks who counts as a she'er, estimates the monthly Bituach Leumi survivor's allowance from the current rate table (by age, number of children, and seniority increment), and also flags the work-related-death dependents' allowance track, the death grant, the pension-fund survivor's pension, and provident-fund and life-insurance payouts. Use when a close relative has died and the family needs to know what it is owed and which form to file with each institution, because almost no payment arrives automatically and each must be actively claimed. Do NOT use for burial logistics or asset transfer, for writing a will or a succession order, or for general non-death Bituach Leumi questions, and always recommend a pension advisor or lawyer for complex cases.

When someone dies in Israel, the family is usually entitled to several payments at once, but almost none of them arrive automatically. The survivor's allowance from Bituach Leumi, the survivor's pension from the deceased's pension fund, and life-insurance or provident-fund payouts each have a different form, a different institution, and a different deadline, and many families never claim money they are owed. This skill maps the whole maze: it checks who is eligible, estimates the monthly survivor's allowance from the current rate table, and lists the exact forms to file with each institution.

Author: skills-ilVerify a public claim against official Israeli data and get a sourced verdict. Use it when you hear a politician quote a number on the radio, get a viral WhatsApp message about prices or the budget, or read a headline you are not sure about. The skill breaks the claim into its checkable parts, sends each to the right official source (the Central Bureau of Statistics, Bank of Israel, the state budget, the Knesset, data.gov.il), pulls the real figure, and labels the claim true, inaccurate, misleading, false, or insufficient-data with a pointer to the source. It never invents a number, so a cannot-verify answer is honest rather than a confident guess. Do NOT use it for opinions, predictions about the future, private personal facts, or for writing articles from scratch.
