The National Insurance Institute, known in Hebrew as Bituach Leumi Israel, is the general government unemployment agency system in which unemployed workers may go to receive unemployment assistance. The National Insurance Institute allocates subsistences to help unemployed individuals find work. In order to receive subsistences, the unemployed workers must be a citizen, have unemployment registration with the Israeli Employment Service, and have been previously employed. There are also unemployment benefits for the Hebrew immigrants who have not yet been able to find employment or who are receiving below minimum wage pay. The time period that these Israeli immigrants are qualified to receive unemployment benefits is during the first 12 months of their immigration in Israel. They are entitled to support from Havtachat Hachnasa, which is income support that is allocated from National Insurance.
