Nazi Persecution Disabled Persons Law (Amendment – Equalizing Eligibility for Survivors Who Immigrated After October 1, 1953) Bill

What does the bill do?

The proposal updates the Nazi Persecution Invalids Law to remove the distinction in entitlement to benefits between survivors who immigrated to Israel before or after a certain date. Today, survivors who immigrated before the date receive a lower monthly allowance than those who immigrated after it. The amendment proposes to equalize the conditions and benefit amounts for all Holocaust survivors supported by the state, arguing that there is no justification for discriminating between survivors on the basis of their date of arrival in Israel.
