National Insurance Law (Amendment – Definition of a Disabled Child) Bill

Translated from Hebrew: הצעת חוק הביטוח הלאומי (תיקון - הגדרת ילד נכה)

TL;DRA proposal to expand the definition of a disabled child in National Insurance to include children with a disability in one limb in addition to a disability in two limbs.

Translated from Hebrew

What does the bill do?

The proposal amends the National Insurance Law in order to expand the entitlements given to disabled children. Today, entitlements are given to children with a complete lack of function or significant impaired function in two limbs. The proposal states that identical entitlements will also be given to children with a lack of function or significant impaired function in only one limb, both in cases requiring the regular use of an assistive device and in cases involving difficulties in performing daily activities such as standing, walking, grasping objects and eating.
