The next age group is people aged 70-51, who make up about 99,000 citizens - 19% of all unverified accounts.
The Minister of Labor and Welfare, Itzik Shmuli, said: "We continue to transfer the special grants to Israeli citizens in general and the weaker sections in particular, with great vigor. The importance of these grants for the elderly, disabled and crisis victims is critical at this time, and I will continue to fight for them."
Meir Spiegler, CEO of Social Security, said: “From the moment we were called to the flag we were working around the clock to meet the task set before us. In less than two weeks, we were able to transfer about 90% of the grants to Israeli residents, and for us this is a big news. I call on those who do not see the money in their bank account by tomorrow, to enter the Social Security systems and make sure that the bank account is up to date with us. We will not rest until the last citizen receives the grant he is entitled to from the National Insurance Institute. "
