Translated from Hebrew
What does the bill do?
The proposal amends the Fallen Soldiers' Families (Pensions and Rehabilitation) Law of 1950 and allows orphans whose parent, an Israel Defense Forces soldier, fell to continue receiving monthly benefits at their rate after turning 21, instead of stopping the benefits at this age. The proposal preserves existing benefits except double benefits, and will apply to orphans from age 18 in accordance with the relevant conditions.
