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

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

TL;DRThe proposal expands the entitlements of disabled children so that children with a disability in one limb will receive the same rights as children with a disability in two limbs.

Translated from Hebrew

What does the bill do?

The proposal changes the definition of "disabled child" in the National Insurance Law to add two more categories of children who will be entitled to all the rights given today to disabled children: children with a complete lack of function or absence of one limb requiring regular use of an assistive device, and children with impaired function of one limb that significantly affects activities such as walking, standing, grasping objects and eating compared with children of the same age.
