TL;DRA proposal to extend rights under the Families of Soldiers Killed in Action Law to children with a family connection to the fallen soldier, even if they live in a foster family.
Translated from Hebrew
What does the bill do?
The proposal adds a section to the Families of Soldiers Killed in Action Law granting children in a foster family rights as children of the family. If the foster parent or another child in the foster family was killed while the child had lived there for at least 30 days, the child will be entitled to the rights of a sibling or child of the fallen, as well as to psycho-social benefits even after leaving the foster family. The proposal provides that the foster child is considered an integral part of the family and is thus directly affected by the bereavement.
