Translated from Hebrew
What does the bill do?
The proposal amends the National Insurance Law by removing conditions from the definition of a widower eligible for a survivors' allowance. Today, a widower is eligible for the allowance only if he has a child or if his income does not exceed a certain amount. The proposal states that a widower will be eligible for a survivors' allowance without these conditions, like a widow who is eligible for the allowance without an income test or having a child. The amendment applies changes to Section 238 of the National Insurance Law.
