Translated from Hebrew
What does the bill do?
The bill amends the Families of Soldiers Killed in Action (Compensation and Rehabilitation) Law of 1950 by expanding the definition of "employee" in Section 33A. Following studies showing that being orphaned in childhood increases the risk of depression, loneliness and difficulties in adulthood, the bill states that the employment obligation will apply to the child of a fallen soldier or the parent of a fallen soldier, for 5 years after retirement age. The aim of the amendment is to improve the quality of life of orphans in adulthood and to reduce their decline into chronic illness.
