Inheritance & Probate
Can a non-Israeli-resident spouse receive Bituach Leumi survivor benefits?
Yes, a surviving spouse who lives abroad may still be entitled to a Bituach Leumi (National Insurance Institute) survivor's pension if the deceased was insured under the Israeli National Insurance Law at the time of death. Eligibility rules and benefit levels depend on the specific circumstances. You should contact the National Insurance Institute directly or through an Israeli representative to file a claim.
