Families of Soldiers Killed in Action (Remuneration and Rehabilitation) Law (Amendment – Regulating the Rights of Adult Orphans) Bill

What does the bill do?

The bill changes the definition of an orphan so that it also applies to adults throughout their lives, not only until age 21. It sets a monthly payment of 3,259 shekels for orphans aged 21-30 and a payment of 1,500 shekels for ages 30-50. The bill expands assistance in many areas: help with private treatment, funding of mental health interventions until age 60, training scholarships until age 60, and a marriage and housing grant of 124,794 shekels. In addition, it establishes a committee under the supervision of a judge to help adult orphans who cannot manage on their own through a tailored two-year rehabilitation program.
