Permanent Service in the Israel Defense Forces (Pensions) Law (Amendment – Abolishing the Deduction from Pension) Bill

Translated from Hebrew: הצעת חוק שירות הקבע בצבא הגנה לישראל (גמלאות) (תיקון - ביטול ניכוי מקצבה)

TL;DRCanceling deductions from pension allowances for survivors of soldiers and security personnel who died in service and are entitled to compensation

Translated from Hebrew

What does the bill do?

The bill changes the IDF pension laws and the Civil Service (Pensions) Law, to ensure that survivors of soldiers and security personnel who died due to enemy actions will receive the full compensation under the Families of Soldiers Law or the Victims of Enemy Actions Law and also the full survivors' pension under the pension laws, without deductions or offsets. Currently, amounts are deducted from the pension due to receiving the compensation. The bill cancels these deduction provisions and amends the related laws, to prevent discrimination between survivors in different pension arrangements.
