Israeli Unemployment Benefits Navigator
Verified100/100Walk a user through Israeli dmei avtala (unemployment benefits) from eligibility to application: verifies the 12-of-18 months qualifying period (tkufat akhshara), calculates benefit amount with the 2026 progressive tier formula, maps max days by age and dependents (50 to 300 days), warns about the 90-day resignation waiting period, and generates a personalized checklist for Sherut HaTaasuka registration and Bituach Leumi filing. Use when a user is fired, laid off, placed on unpaid leave, or considering resignation and needs to know how much avtala they are entitled to and how to claim it. Prevents thousands of shekels left on the table from late registration or miscounted qualifying months. Do NOT use for other Bituach Leumi programs, net salary calculations, reservist compensation, or employment contract review.

The Problem
Every year, tens of thousands of Israelis lose their job or are placed on unpaid leave and leave avtala money on the table because the rules are dense, the qualifying period is easy to miscount, and the Bituach Leumi website buries the progressive benefit formula under links. Resigning without knowing about the 90-day waiting period, registering late at Sherut HaTaasuka, or forgetting that only 12 salaried months out of the last 18 qualify all cost real shekels. This skill gives a clear eligibility, amount and first-step answer in one pass, with a personalized application checklist.
