Translated from Hebrew
What does the bill do?
The bill changes the National Insurance Law and the Income Support Law to allow recipients of the senior citizen's pension, disability allowance, survivors' benefit and income support benefit to receive unemployment benefits at the same time. The change sets that unemployment benefits will be considered income from work and occupation, but will not be taken into account in calculating dependents' supplements, and only part of them will be deducted from the basic allowance. The bill includes a commitment that an insured person's eligibility for the benefit will not be harmed due to the provisions of the new law. The start date was set for January 1, 2023.
